[PD] Pd 0.50-2 on macos 11.0 BigSur beta

[Miller Puckette]

Well, I did notice that there's still an included tcl/tk in MACOS (at least
in the one I have access to).  So here's an interesting possible workaround:
try going into the Pd app and overwriting this file:

   Pd-0.51-0-ppc.app/Contents/MacOS/Pd

(which is actually a copy of "Wish" from tcl/tk) with this one:

System/Volumes/Data/System/Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework/Versions/8.5/Resources/Wish.app/Contents/MacOS/Wish

(Perhaps the path isn't the same on your system, or perhaps this file belongs
to something that isn't installed over there, etc...)

Please let us know how it goes..
