[PD] belt conveyor control

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

I have done all sorts of this kind of thing in two ways: MIDI->relay 
boards, and connecting the parallel port directly to solid-state relays 
to control them.  For the solid-state relays, we used opto22 boards, 
but I am sure there are others around.  I used this patch for the 
parport stuff written by Frank Hausman:
