[PD] compiling externals on snow leopard

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

The build system in vanilla/extended is pretty ugly, especially for  
Mac OS X.  The build system in the pd-gui-rewrite/0.43 branch has been  
rewritten from scratch to be a full autotools build system.  That  
should fix the -isysroot and --disable-portaudio problem you mention.   
Try it out, and we can fix any issues there.

svn co https://pure-data.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/pure-data/branches/pd-gui-rewrite/0.43/
cd 0.43
./autogen.sh && ./configure --enable-jack --disable-portaudio && make
