[L2Ork-dev] Pd-l2ork 1+2 parallel installations (Linux) might go EOL next month

[Jonathan Wilkes]

(I sent this from my yahoo account but it doesn't look like it went
through correctly...)

I know there was some interest by a GSoC student in porting K12 to
Purr Data. In that case it may be beneficial to
have version 1 and 2 side-by-side on the same machine.

Albert-- would it be workable to change the install directory and
binary to something like "purr" of "purrd"? If so I can
help with that.
