[PD] Compiling Pd external using Codeblocks on Windows

[J bz]

Hey Lorenzo,

Yes indeed you did, and very grateful I am too.

And thank you for the outline tutorial as well.  Will have another crack at
using Codeblocks when I have more time.  I need to get into this, it's a
gaping hole in my expanding Pd knowledge.

Very best wishes

Julian
