[PD] prevent opening of patches

One more thing can be annoying on OSX:
If you open a second instance of Pd, the same patch as in the first will 
be opened.

One good thing to do is to create an AppleScript for opening Pd from the 
Terminal:

* Open AppleScript Editor and past the line: (of course adapt Pd-xxxx.app)

tell application "Terminal" to do script 
"/Applications/Pd-0.45-2.app/Contents/Resources/bin/pd"

* Export as Application and put wherever you want.. Now you can open 
multiple instances of Pd with that .app, and patches won't be loaded 
automatically.

Actually funny how complicated things get because of "user experience 
optimizations".
