The error seems to be extraneous.  It works for me.  The other thing  
to consider is making them called [lt~] and [gt~] and bypass the  
hexloader.

Personally, I'd like to see the possibility of a generic setup() setup  
function, then you wouldn't need the hexloader to have >~.pd_linux or

function called main(), so its doable.
