[PD] performance-problem with [print] on pd-0.39 on win

send '-stderr' startup argv to pd.exe. i'm not convinced all of the CPU load incurred in the old pd-gui is due to drawing text/graphics since ive made some standalone scripts that do pretty crazy things like display 25-50 fps color-spectrograms and oscilloscopes in pure unaccelerated Tk that dont chew nearly as much as PD does for a few lines of graphics or errorlog..

yeah by editing pd.tk. the one time i tried using it on windows it was displaying \ in filenames with \\ instead, which was never a bug in matjuconsole, but not annoying enough to track down..

not really, other than the main window is now bigger, more annoying, and chews cpu ;)
