[PD] macosx .pdrc inside PD.app

[Max Neupert]

hi list,

how to handle it if one may want to keep different properties for  
different instances of pd?

e.g. one pd instance for sound, and one for gem to avoid audio  
glitches; one instance has to have libaries to load, the other one  
should run in -nogui....

how do you solve this with just one org.puredata.pd.plist all of the  
instances of pd are refering to?
