Give me a holler if you want help with the Pd.app build system.  What  
you need to do is quite straightforward: just make a Makefile target  
that executes whatever is necessary to build gridflow.  I'd say  
externals/gridflow is a good spot for it.  We should probably set up an  
ACL so that if people want to commit changes to CVS, they'll have to  
make a branch (that's the way other imported sources are setup).

Also, you should include whatever libs/frameworks/etc. that  
OSX/Debian/etc. doesn't normally provide (for example, if you use that  
Ruby.framework).  I think that the Apple Developer tools include ruby  
dev files now.  Or at least my computer has  
/usr/lib/ruby/1.6/powerpc-darwin7.0/ruby.h
