+These are just the objects included in Miller's Pd compiled as stand-alone
+libraries based on their source files. Its a quick and dirty hack to strip Pd
+down to the bare essentials so that the namespace will be fully functional.
+
+The lib_x_* files are generated using the included script, generate.sh. They
+should not be modified directly. Ideally, these would be compiled as
+individual objects.
+
+The files named after the classes are GUI objects that originally had g_
+prefixes on the file names.
+
+This stuff is currently here as a proof of concept for turning Pd core into a
+micro-language. If you want to start modifying these, then we should discuss
+how these should be maintained along with Miller's changes.
+
+test version
+------------
+
+Once 0.40.x is done, then I plan on making the full test of this concept in
+the branch-v0-40-x-extended, splitting out each class into its own file in
+"extra", and compiling each as its own lib.
