[PD] [PD-dev] pd-toolkit first Release

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

It would be a great thing to have in Pd-extended, but first it should  
be stable, both in terms of not crashing, and in terms of the API not  
changing. If you have to make incompatible changes to something like  
iemguts or kbd_ctrl once its included in Pd-extended, then its a  
really pain.  That's why my Pduino stuff still isn't included.

kbd_ctrl isn't the most memorable name, at least for my leaky mind.  I  
am guessing kbd means keyboard?  Maybe key_ctrl?  Then it means both  
keyboard and 'key' as in important, like: "the key object in my  
editing toolkit is key_ctrl".
