[PD] issues installing pd-ext on ubuntu intrepid 868

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

There are lots of docs for all this stuff here:
http://puredata.info/docs/developer

INSTALL.txt is only easily modifyable by Miller, since it is part of  
pd-vanilla.  That chunk of the website is a wiki, so anyone can  
contribute.

Also, Pd-extended 0.40.3 doesn't work well with Tcl/Tk 8.5, there are  
some display issues.  So stick with tcl84 for Pd-extended for now.   
Part of the current pd-devel effort is to make things work well on Tcl  
8.5.
