[PD] Testing Pd builds with JACK

[Dan Wilcox]

Sometimes a developer includes a nice uninstall script, sometimes not. In either case, I usually use Pacifist to inspect the contents of the .pkg and see where they are installed:

That's at least definitive and a few times I actually used it as a guide to manually remove files.
