Added about 64 files that I hadn't realized weren't in the CVS
repository. Threw in pd/portaudio/pa_win_wdmks for good measure, although I haven't tried compiling that in yet (no windoze machine handy today). svn path=/trunk/; revision=4316

+#X text 19 243 The choice object holds a list of vectors \, each having
+up to ten elements. When sent a list of numbers \, it outputs the index
+of the known vector that matches most closely. The quality of the match
+is the dot product of the two vectors after normalizing them \, i.e.
+\, the vector whose direction is closest to that of the input wins.
+;
+#X text 19 340 If given a nonzero creation argument \, choice tries
+to avoid repetitious outputs by weighting less recently output vectors
+preferentially.;
+#X text 20 389 You can use this to choose interactively between a number
+of behaviors depending on their attributes. For example \, you might
+have stored a number of melodies \, of which some are syncopated \,
+some chromatic \, some are more than 100 years old \, some are bugle
+calls \, and some are Christmas carols. You could then ask to find
+a syncopated bugle call (1 \, 0 \, 0 \, 1 \, 0) and you'll get the
+thing most closely matching the request.;
+#X text 19 514 You can use numbers other than 0 and 1 to indicate relative
+strengths of the attributes \, or even use negative numbers to indicate
+opposites \, either in the incoming lists or in the stored ones.;
