backslashes are used for keeping dollar sign in pd patches,

this also involves sometimes some bugs when we try to put tcl variables 
in a patch, it does happen when we try to interpret tcl code with 
[hc/sys_gui].

This is also one of the main reasons why I try to replace tcl scripts in 
my patches with pdlua objects and still looking for a decent third party 
graphical toolkit that could be coded without compiling.
