+TODO for pddp
+  * pddplink:
+    . standardize server's root directory (use $help_directory from pd.tk?)
+
+DONE for pddp
+
+alpha3
+  * .pd back-link tries not to open patches that are already open:
+    if a patch window already exists, it is raised and given focus instead
+  * new option "-gop" (visible in a gop)
+  * bug fix: unclickable in gop, unless visible
+
+alpha2
+  * loading tcl scripts through "package require pddp":
+    . storing them in an immediate subdirectory of the path of pddplink's binary
+    . storing a hand-crafted pkgIndex.tcl there
+    . pddplink's setup appends the path of its binary to tcl's "auto_path"
+  * pddpserver asks for auto-assigning its port first, then starts
+    incrementing from 32768
+  * pddplink's appearance controlled with creation options (an option switch
+    is any symbol starting from '-' followed by a letter)
+  * options currently recognized:
+    . "-box" (standard object box)
+    . "-text" followed by any number of non-option atoms (body text)
+  * nonboxed version (default) has a custom widgetbehavior, which is a thin
+    layer on top of the standard text widgetbehavior (using all rtext routines),
+    so that merging into core Pd, as a new object type, T_LINK, would be easy.
+
+alpha1
+  * prototype versions of the external "pddplink" and two pd-gui extensions
+    "pddpserver.tcl", "pddpclient.tcl"
