[PD] opencv motion tracker external HELP!

[Mike Wozniewski]

Yeah, I took the openCV blobtrack code from the examples and modified it 
just slightly. I didn't document all the changes, because it was never 
meant to last for more than one project. I simply added the pd netsend 
stuff, added a few sliders to control parameters, added an automatic 
background model refresher, and blacked out some areas of the image that 
I didn't want processed.

Attached is the patch that I use to receive the blob data in Pd (also 
with some customizations).
