[PD] [announce][Gem] well, here it is....

[marco]

I did not mean my mail to be a criticism.
Yes the README.build is very clear.

Perhaps I am not knowledgeable enough to be an alpha version user, but I 
have been so dying to get a film or movie object working under linux 
that I wanted to jump on this opportunity.  And let Iohannes know there 
is the desire for this work.

If I can be of any help getting these objects working easily for as many 
users as possible.  Please let me help.

Perhaps this is my lack of knowledge but I still can't get this version 
to compile with the heroine warrior libs... It blocks on the libdv 
stuff.  I tried compiling just pix_film, or pix_movie but this is a bit 
over my head :( .  I'll have to read more on how to compile an external 
for pd.

I'll be watching this thread with great excitement.
