[PD] [urn] in Zexy vs. [urn] in maxlib, cyclone and Max/MSP

It's now part of RTC-lib under the "german" name "urne". I don't
intend to add more dust to the namespace pollution of urn by calling
it the same again. 

(RTC-lib in the end will probably get a namespace like "rtc" anyways.)

Problem is: If you write a library like RTC-lib, you don't know, which
version of an external like urn people have installed. I'm struggling
with this problem since a long time in RRADical. Ideally all "urn" and
"prepend" and "scale" and "counter" objects would behave the same, but
they don't.  The only way out currently is to not use these objects at
all and to use different objects, that is, objects like "zexy/urn",
"maxlib_scale" or "urne". A future way may be "from cyclone import
urn" but it's not there yet.
