[PD] GLSL shader patches (was: "webcam to pix_video with VLC plugin on Mac OS X")

[oliver]

Hi, dear list !

i took the opportunity of csaba's question to
publish my glsl shader abstractions collection on
GITHUB.

Hopefully it will be useful for other PD/Gem users
as well.

Please feel free to test, (ab)use, report, critisize etc.

tested and working with PD 0.49 under windows 7 and macos (don't know 
the OS version, sorry. but it wasn't the newest ...)

i think there is (don't know for sure though, never did it with Gem), 
but AFAIKT it's not a good idea. i did it some time ago with MAX/JITTER 
and you lose a lot of computation power (also framerates) in the 
process. other than for monitoring/debugging reasons i would stay away 
from it.
