[PD] Open patch in running pd via commandline

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

This is great!  The file associations will help a lot.  It would be  
good if you could use the same icon, it is in SVN and is used for Mac  
OS X files, and the app icon for all platforms.

As for opening in the same instance, Mac OS X handles that  
autmoatically, but on Windows and GNU/Linux, Pd needs to be modified  
to support that.  There has been some discussion about how to do it.   
I think the best bet would be to look how other apps like Firefox,  
etc handle this.
