[L2Ork-dev] A plea for full double precision support out of the box in Purr data

I'm compiling Pd 0.48 with a dedicated flag. While browsing 
makefile.gnu, I saw

# You can add compiler flags using CODECFLAGS, MORECFLAGS and/or 
MORELDFLAGS.
# For example, you can turn off optimizing and enable debugging: 
CODECFLAGS=-g
# or *compile with native double precision: MORECFLAGS=-DPD_FLOATSIZE=64*

This flag enables double precision as discussed here and when asked 
about in Pd's mailing list, IOhannes M Zmölnig said it was 
"experimental". Indeed some objects are not computing the correct output 
but /some are/ and the fact that there is now a compiler flag for this 
is a good thing as it means that it is still a work in progress.
I don't know for how long it has been there though, as I've been 
compiling Pd only a few times, following the readme and there seems to 
be no reference of this in Pd's release notes history.
