-README for pd external 'sprinkler' (formerly 'forward')
-
-=head1 DESCRIPTION
-
-'sprinkler' objects do dynamic control-message dissemination.
-
-Given a list as input, a 'sprinkler' object interprets the initial
-list element as the name of a 'receive' object, and [send]s the
-rest of the list to that object.
-
-=head1 INSTALLATION
-
-Issue the following commands to the shell:
-
- cd sprinkler-X.YY (or wherever you extracted the distribution)
- ./configure
- make
- make install
-
-=head1 BUILD OPTIONS
-
-The 'configure' script supports the following options, among others:
-
-=over 4
-
-=item --enable-debug , --disable-debug
-
-Whether to enable verbose debugging messages.
-Default=no.
-
-=item --enable-forward , --disable-forward
-
-Whether to create [forward] objects as instances
-of the [sprinkler] class (MAX-incompatible).
-Default=no.
-
-=item --enable-all-forwardmess , --disable-all-forwardmess
-
-Whether to use pd_forwardmess() for all messages. If this
-option is disabled (the default), messages of length 1 will
-be handled specially; thus a symbol 'foo' will be passed as
-'symbol foo', rather than just 'foo'.
-
-Default=no.
-
-Future versions of 'sprinkler' may use pd_forwardmess() for
-all messages by default -- go on, try it!

-=head1 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
-
-PD by Miller Puckette and others.
-
-Ideas, black magic, and other nuggets of information drawn
-from code by Guenter Geiger, Larry Troxler, and iohannes m zmoeling.
-
-Thanks to Krzysztof Czaja for pointing out to me the existence of MAX "forward",
-and to Miller Puckette for the name "sprinkler".
-
-Thanks to Erasmus Zipfel for a bugreport and useful ideas.
-
-=head1 KNOWN BUGS
-
-One of the acknowledgements used to be in this section.
-Sorry, folks.
-
-Backwards-compatible version is incompatible with MAX.
-
-Semantic strangeness with singleton messages is somewhat cryptic.
