[PD] Wii remote controller and Mac OS X

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

This is a port of aka.wiiremote, yup.  The Max and Pd APIs are so  
similar, you usually don't need flext to make it work for both.

The problem here is that Max/MSP is a Carbon app and the pd process  
is not (Tcl/Tk Wish.app is).  The IOBluetooth framework is designed  
to be used in a Carbon app, so I have to hack around in unusual ways  
to make this work.  flext wouldn't help with that, unfortunately, AFAIK.
