+fftw~ - FFT objects for pd
+
+a set of alternative fft~-objects, using the fftw-library.
+these objects should behave exactly like the original ones:
+
+[fftw~]		<->	[fft~]
+[ifftw~]	<->	[ifft~]
+[rfftw~]	<->	[rfft~]
+[rifftw~]	<->	[rifft~]
+
+
+REASONING:
+ the code in here has originally been written by tim blechmann and was
+ meant to be part of pd itself.
+ since miller puckette is somewhat reluctant to integrate these fftw-enabled
+ objects into vanilla pd, this library provides another way to get
+ high-performance FFTs.
+
+TODO:
+ search for a way to override the default FFT-objects in pd with these.
+ (i think cyclone uses such a mechanism)

+LICENSING:
+ since this code was originally meant to be part of pd, it is licensed under the
+ same license as pd itself.
