[PD] Pd-extended 0.41.4 release candidate 1

[Jeff Sandys]

This change kind of works for me.  Using: Fedora Core 9/i386: 
Pd-0.41.4-extended-rc1-planetccrma9-i386.tar.bz2 with
Fedora 10 and 2.6.26.8-1.rt16.1.fc10.ccrma.i686.rt kernel.
The install per your instructions ran quickly with no problems.

The default font size 12 is noticeably smaller than font size 12 
in the editor or terminal, more like size 9.
The relation of box size to font size is uneven, size 10, 12 & 16, 
just fits, but size 8, 24 & 36 have extra space between the end of 
the text and the box, and size 8 font is impossibly small to read.

Why does the tk program list 10 different sizes when the 
pd font choice box only lists 6 (size 8 10 12 16 24 36)?
What (or where) is the relation between this foreach and 
the pd font selection dialog?
