[PD] maxlib on OSX version?

Personally, I have many projects that use [maxlib/gauss]. There is 
probably a replacement *somewhere* but I didn't bother.

"mrpeach" also has [midifile], which I use regularly. Is there are good 
(and stable) replacement object?

Someone might pick them up and start maintaining them (which has 
happenend in the past). In fact, [mrpeach] has been maintained until 
recently. (Martin Peach has passed away two years ago, sadly.)

In general, there is nothing wrong with making older library versions 
available for newer platforms. After all, some projects pin their 
dependencies to specific versions and don't want to risk updates, as 
they might cause regressions.

While I agree that *new* projects should probably try to migrate, there 
are lots of *existing* projects that rely on these libraries. People 
might want to run these existing projects on newer platforms, but they 
can't afford or don't have the skills to migrate, so it would be nice if 
the libraries were available on Deken.
