[PD] version compile-time checks, was: Building ELSE for Pd Vanilla (here RPi OS 11 32-bit)

[Dan Wilcox]

To avoid bleeding-edge red, is the following not possible with externals?

#ifdef PD_MAJOR_VERSION >= 0 and PD_MINOR_VERSION >= 54
// multichannel code
#else
// non-multichannel code
#endif

Depending upon the code layout, you could also probably use some macros for lots of redundant stuff.
