[PD] first release of libsms + pd externals

[Rich E]

Updated the packages with minor scons fixes.  I also added a picture
of the main help file, which will tell you a little about what the set
of pd externals do: http://mtg.upf.edu/static/libsms/sms-help.jpg

I saw that my scons installer is not yet working too well in os x.. I
think it is because it cannot find the directories where
headers/libraries are installed.  So I added the basic ones that I
could think of (and what worked on my friend's macbook).  Also, there
is a "verbose" command that can be given to scons that will print out
what directories it is about to look for the libraries.

I think it will compile in the static libary too, if it is found.
What is the error you are getting? My guess is scons is not finding
libsndfile at all.

The problem is that it is hard to find examples of scons being used to
build pd externals.  And I personally do not like make :)

Hopefully within a few weeks of testing the install problems will be
smoothed out.  I have it working on my G4 in the office, but I mainly
compile things just like I would in linux.  I know this is different
from most Mac users, which is a large population of the Pd community.
Sorry to the Windows users.. I have sort of given up on trying to get
things to build there.
