I really don't want to dictate here, but I think we need to decide on  
how we use the SVN.  svn:externals create more annoying work in  
regards to getting Pd-extended builds out, but that is not the only  
use of the SVN.  I can accept more annoying work, but there needs to  
be a good reason.

My question remains, what is the problem we are trying to solve using  
svn:externals?  If it is to include code that gets built with Pd- 
extended, then svn:externals doesn't work well for that, just  
importing releases works much better.  If it is to make a centralized  
place to find all Pd code, then I wonder if there is a better tool  
for this, like a special section of SVN for svn:externals outside of  
trunk or a wiki page.

I think it's time to have a IRC meeting about this.  How about  
Thursday?  I am trying to be in #dataflow as much as possible these  
days, if anyone wants to have an impromptu discussion.
