Proxies!  pdlua has an implementation that seems to work for me, there 
might be a better way to implement it for a C-based external though.

svn co https://code.goto10.org/svn/maximus/pdlua pdlua

Yeah, it's not ideal, but this proxy solution isn't so tedious if you 
make it generic enough, which isn't too hard.

Maybe there should be a libpdutils for such common tasks, pending 
inclusion into pd?
