[PD] Cyclone help patches & issue list

[Dan Wilcox]

Sorry, I didn;t mean to sound like I'm griping. The nature of the question
was more "if we apply clean, small patches to vanilla, could we get some of
Han's updates in so they aren't lost to non Pd-l2ork users". I'm in the
middle of writing my thesis right now, but getting into real Pd development
again is on my list when I'm finally done with it.
