[PD] GOP-GUI-dynamic patching weirdness

[Pierre-Olivier Boulant]

Thanks Jonathan,

Very nice indeed.
Each time I see data structures I realise how elegant they are. I really 
feel I should look into this...  some day... :)

I was mostly pointing out the little problems I encountered this afternoon.

Cheers
Pierre-Olivier
