Lots of changes, got the first complete(-ish) build with the new extended
build system. I left as much of the old functionality in place as possible,
definitely were it was being used. But there are some changes that break
backwards compatibility, thought they should be noticed by few, and be easy to
fix going forward.
Some highlights:
- centralized patch system (packages/patches with targets patch_pd and
unpatch_pd)
- easily redirected builds, using INSTALL_PREFIX and all of the *_DEST
variables. This makes building packages like Pd.app, .deb, .rpm,
etc. much easier.
- libdir format: basically a libdir is a directory that has both the objects
and the help files together in one folder. It can be added using -lib or
the StartUp preferences, or you can access them via geiger namespaces,
i.e. [mylibrary/myobject].
- special characters allow in setup function/file names for objects. This
makes objects like [||~] possible without having to be in a library. Now
they can be either .pd files or individual .pd_darwin files (thanks
IOhannes for the patch).
