[PD] list of Pd forks?

[Christof Ressi]

FWIW, I wouldn't consider pd-iem a fork, either. IMO, adding a bunch of 
plugins doesn't qualify as a fork. I think a better word would be 
"distro". Actually, that's how the project describes itself:

"is a Pure Data libraries distribution for plain Pure Data (Pd-vanilla), 
focussed on (but not limited to) IEM libraries."

Of course, there is no universal definition of "fork" and lots of grey 
areas with great potential for infinite bike shedding.
