For the same reasons that were discussed when these extensions were 
introduced.  For Mac OS X, the d_fat, etc extentions cause problems 
without solving any. No other Mac OS X app that I have seen uses 
arch-specific file extentions. Mac OS X provides tools for managing the 
different binary formats, so it should be considered harmful to invent 
new ones. I think the d_fat, etc. should be deprecated and removed from Pd.
