/*
There must be a separate canvas for the dynamically created objects as some mechanisms in PD
(like copy/cut/paste) get confused otherwise.
On the other hand it seems to be possible to create objects without a canvas. 
They won't receive DSP processing, though, hence it's only possible for message objects.
Problems arise when an object is not yet loaded... the canvas environment is then needed to
load it.. if there is no canvas, PD currently crashes.


How to create the canvas:
1) via direct call to canvas_new()
2) a message to pd_canvasmaker
	con: does not return a pointer for the created canvas

There are two possibilities for the canvas
1) make a sub canvas to the one where dyn~ resides:
	pro: no problems with environment (abstractions are found and loaded correctly)
2) make a root canvas:
	pro: it will be in the canvas list per default, hence DSP is processed
	con: canvas environment must be created manually 
			(is normally done by pd_canvasmaker if there is a directory set, which is again done somewhere else)

Enabling DSP on the subcanvas
1) send it a "dsp" message (see rabin~ by K.Czaja)... but, which signal vector should be taken?
	-> answer: NONE!  (just send NULL)
2) add it to the list of _root_ canvases (these will be DSP-processed per default)
	(for this the canvas_addtolist and canvas_takefromlist functions are used)
	however, it's not clear if this can lead to problems since it is no root-canvas!

In all cases the 1)s have been chosen as the cleaner solution
