This looks like a very useful library.  I tried the distortion~- 
help.pd and it had [../bin/distortion~] for the object, so needless to  
say, that didn't work.

If you want to easily build it on all platform and debianize it, you  
can use the new libdir template in externals/Makefile.  It'll also  
make the dist tarball with "make dist".
