[PD] standalone apps WAS: make money not art

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

Because app packages are so different for each platform, it wouldn't  
really be feasible to make one Pd app format for all platforms.  It  
seems for Windows that .bat is the best way.  WIth the soon-to-be- 
released Pd-extended version on Mac OS X, you can make an standalone  
app from the "File" menu.  I am now sketching out how to do this for  
Debian.  Basically, it would make a .deb package out of your patches  
and set up a .desktop file for things like a shortcut in the  
Applications menu and automatically configure the dependencies.
