[PD] PDP updates

[doelie at zzz.kotnet.org]

hi all,

i'm working on a bug fix release for PDP. currently there's only a darcs archive.
there will probably be a release around mid februari, for the first Huddersfield
workshop.

this means that PDP and Packet Forth are officially forked, alas.. no more denial :)

if there's some small annoyance or bug you'd like to see fixed, send an email to
pdp at zzz.kotnet.org

for more info, see:

most important changes since 0.12.4 are pdp_del, pdp_rawin/out and i420 bitmaps.
there's also the doc/misc/rawout.txt file explaining how to use rawout and 
pdp_metro to dump raw audio/video to the harddisk and convert it offline 
using mencoder/ffmpeg. this seems to be the simplest way to save CPU power 
when doing live video recording.

one thing several people seem to miss in PDP is more input video codecs.
i'm not going to add support for it, but it is possible to use pdp_rawin
in combination with my pf-rawvideo.* scripts. these are little wrappers
around ffmpeg and mencoder to produce i420 streams on stdout. they can
be found here:
