[PD] Update cyclone maintenance

[Fred Jan Kraan]

Hi Alexandre,

The primary goal with cyclone maintenance was fixing the known bugs,
maybe add missing functionality for existing objects and improve the
help-patches. This is now more or less completed, apart from providing
compiled versions for 'compile-unfriendly' platforms.

Adding new objects was not the primary goal, but could be next. I looked
at the teeth~ object you suggested, but it will take more time to
understand the transition from formula to code. Filter code, certainly
optimized, is not simple to understand!

The objects you mentioned, apparantly happened to be part of cyclone, in
the 'cyclone sub-library', but I cannot find them anymore in the code. I
will try to find out why. Some of the objects exist in zexy, but not
all, so it is the question where best to add new ones.

As a first step creating them as abstractions might be a good idea, and
if some of them turn out to be expensive, I could try to implement them
in code. In which library they should be placed could be an other
discussion.  For now, I only do cyclone...

Greetings,

Fred Jan
