[PD] '*' in filenames on windows

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

You can use the hex loader on Pd-0.39.2-extended or Pd >=0.40:

[v*] would be v0x2a.dll, where 0x2a is the hex ascii code for *.   
This should work for compiled objects and Pd patches.

Terrorism is not an enemy.  It cannot be defeated.  It's a tactic.   
It's about as sensible to say we declare war on night attacks and  
expect we're going to win that war.  We're not going to win the war  
on terrorism.        - retired U.S. Army general, William Odom
