[PD] Pd on high resolution displays

[Roman Haefeli]

Hi Ico

That sounds awesome and like a lot of work. If this really means it will
be possible to work on hi-res displays as comfortably as on older
setups, this will be a huge advantage of pd-l2ork.

Is that something that relies on other pd-l2ork specific changes or
could that be easily back-ported to Pd?
