Subject: updated the zexy help-system: all reference-patches (aka
 help-patches) are now to be found in the ./reference/ folder and are named
 <path>-help.pd; removed a now superfluous class_sethelpsymbol from ./src/*.c;
 the ./examples/ folder is currently empty but will eventually be filled with
 zexy real-world examples
