[PD] [PD-announce] jl lib

[Joseph Larralde]

Ok, this confirms umlaeute's PR and comments on my github repo.
His PR uses the garray_getfloatwords function and copies the contents to 
a float array to make it accessible to the c++ code.
It works very well (at least on my osx 32 bit pd), but I really dislike 
the waste of CPU it takes to duplicate all this data.
umlaeute also pointed me to a stride-based solution, which I think is 
the good direction to follow, so this is what I'm considering right now.
Thanks to both of you for this very useful and cross-validated tip :)
