[PD] Unified Library was Re: Call for GSoC mentors! March 9th deadline!

[hard off]

yeah sorry frank, i should have explained more clearly.

i also think that no GUI is the way to go for functional abstractions.  that
was the big flaw of the DIY library i did, that the function of the
abstractions was tied in with the gui component.  i did it that way because
i didn't want to clutter the namespace with too many abstractions, and the
thought of one abstraction for function, and then a different one for GUI
was not appealing at the time.

but now, i think that is the only way to go.  like, as you said, for
polyphony.  and then also for the many many cases in which you'd want to
build your own gui for custom control.

i do think you guys have got a really really strong system there with
rjlib.  but i was just saying that without the gui stuff, it doesn't exactly
fit into being that 'all purpose building blocks' library that we are
discussing.
