so these are mainly bugs in specifc objects we want to work around

though the script itself already has the possibility to check which OS
it's running on, and cold adjust it's behaviour (e.g. by forwarding
the request to an OS-specific sub-script)...though probably not easy
to run a .bat from a .sh and vice-versa

but if somebody chose to install a newer version of [pix_write] on
their outdated Pd-extended, you will still use it the wrong way.
in this case you might want to ask the version of [pix_write] instead.
