I doesn't have to be a Makefile, there just has to be a way of 
compiling only from the command line, then that can be added to the 
packages/darwin_app Makefile.

Where is the GEM CVS currently? gem.iem.at?  I think it would only be 
worth moving back to the pure-data.sf.net CVS if y'all were going to 
use that to develop from.  But it might make sense to import 'releases' 
to Pd CVS, then keep the development separate.  We could then import 
the GEM code using the external vendor method, and fix bugs in the 
'release' in Pd CVS using branching and merging to stay up to date with 
newer releases.
