[PD] Dejavu on ms-windows was: (Re: [PD-announce] Pd 0.48-1 test version released)

[Dan Wilcox]

Here is a prelim of what I had in mind: https://github.com/pure-data/pdloader <https://github.com/pure-data/pdloader>

It's not currently working. It builds but can't find the Init function, so something is wrong with the dll export.

In any case, the idea is that this small lib can be built to match the Tcl version Pd is using.

In some ways, extrafont is basically the same idea but in this case, we only really need it on Windows.
