Cyclone loading is more powerful than pat-loading anyways, as it
automatically creates dummy-objects and does some other nice things.
It should be the preferred way of importing Max patches. 

RTC-lib should be proof enough to Cyclone's power: Almost all patches
were simply imported with Cyclone, and then fixed in regard to
Pd-Max-differences like: 

* execution order (Max goes right to left, Pd wants proper triggers),
* int-conversions (everything is a float in Pd, this sometimes mattered
for RTC),
* cloning Max objects and abstractions unknown or different in Pd

Ciao
