It was a last minute thing before I went on vacation, I just got back
(no email access since Oct 12 so I have a LOT to catch up to). 

Thanks for the detailed information, I'll see what I can do asap. I did
not manage to do a lot of testing before the release so there are bound
to be problems (lots of packages and lots of new externals packaged -
thanks to Hans-Christoph Steiner for his help in trying to get the
packages out <he maintains the pd extended cvs repository and build
system>).

I'll check the repository asap, I must have goofed up at some point.

That should come in with pd-extended-extra (I seem to remember), the
problem being some dependencies that only come from the repository that
cannot be mentioned :-)

More later...
