[PD] Pd on ARM devices

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

There are some fedora packages of pd floating around.  It would be great for someone to update them and include them in the pure-data SVN or some repo somewhere.  Also, if someone makes a fedora package .spec file for the Library Template, it'll be really easy to package lots of other libraries for Fedora.

If you get Debian running on the Pi, then just apt-get install puredata.
