[PD] sendOSC: handling big numbers

[brendan]

The OSC Specification supports 64bit numbers, but they require an "h" 
type tag to be properly defined.  OSCx might not support the 'h' tag, 
you would have ask the developer.

Some of the software I've seen with OSC support have only partial 
implementations...  Supercollider doesn't support nested bundles.  Then 
again it's not like it needs them.
