[PD] building Pd-extended on 64 bit debian system

[Ilias Anagnostopoulos]

John,

I was working on the 64-bit version, but I've stopped doing anything 
since Saturday when the civil unrest started in Greece. I'm interested 
in this, I'll have a look at the wiki page and contribute if I can. Good 
luck!!

Ilias
