Hey that's great!

I can probably help once you get that part ready.  One issue will be to 
making sure everything builds using a newer version of tcl/tk than what 
Pd-extended currently ships with.  It might be good just to go ahead and 
try 8.6 since it has some new tk::mac goodies.

There are a few other tk libs Pd-l2ork uses.  I'm also assuming Tkpath 
doesn't have any crashers in Windows-- I haven't tried it yet.
