[PD] remote pd-gui

[Miller Puckette]

Sorry, no way to override the "5400" (there ought to be one!)... also,
you'l have a surprise when oyu run "open" and "save" dialogs: they see
files on the GUI machine but Pd will then try to read or write on the other
one!

I've used this feature only once so far.  It might turn out to be useful for
running Pd on PDAs and such.

cheers
