[PD] fluid~

[Alexandre Torres Porres]

my searching app failed me, I found libfluidsynth.2.dylib in Contents/lib
in Purr Data's app!

So yeah, the question still remains, how can we make Pd find this. It
failed to do so if it's just in the same folder. And also if we can build
the external binary that already has libfluidsynth.2.dylib embedded in it.

cheers
