[PD] binary compatibility

[Jonathan Wilkes]

Thanks, Charles.

What if the Vanilla external has CLASS_DEFAULT widgetbehavior?  Then Pd assigns c->c_wb to text_widgetbehavior.Since text_widgetbehavior is a hard-coded widgetbehavior it is guaranteed to have the number of members expected bythe code in g_editor.c.
Is this right?

This type of modification isn't meant to be binary compatible in both
directions.  Your Pd-Vanilla externals with the Vanilla
t_widgetbehavior struct will not work in Pd-l2ork, because the struct
is smaller.

When Pd-l2ork tries to access those elements off the end of the
t_widgetbehavior struct, it should seg fault.
