Shouldn't it be >= 41 there?

Also, why checking for 64bit when the new interface is the same in 32bit Pd?

I think it's just the obvious way of doing things...

I figure that pd-1.0 is so far away, and that things will probably 
change a great deal before then, that it's safer.  Who knows whether 
pd-0.41 will compile with TCL/Tk 8.7, so why check for it in configure?

Inspiration for this philosophy comes from the Haskell Package Version 
Policy, where major numbers indicate incompatible API changes and minor 
versions indicate bug fixes, and dependencies should be specified using 
a closed range to avoid massive breakage and confusion when APIs change 
in the future.
