Currently it appears only in the pd META sub-patch of the help-patches. It
is currently 0.1-alpha56. Adding it to each object would be a good thing
and report it at load time (Debug-level). But this would mean changing all
objects. Something for the todo list.

Currently there are only some patches in the patch tracker, and linux 32
bit executables on my harddisk. The idea is to test them on several
platforms, including linux 64 bit, Windows 32 bit and Macos X 10.7 (64
bit). I could put the compiled libraries somewhere online, but do not
expect a neat installer. I would consider it a temporary stop-gap for
the time there is no proper distribution.

There is no indication a new Extended release will happen any time soon.

The objects should be proper clones, but I haven't checked them in that
much detail. At first glance I would say, the formula in the code is the
same as found in the Max5 documentation.
