No, but you do `git pull` on master, you can just do `git merge
master` on the vanilla straight lines branch to bring it in.

Actually, I just did that. So now you should be able to just do `git
pull` on that branch.

Yes, there's a wonky way to do it:

1. After you've compiled successfully, go to purr-data/pd/src
2. Open s_inter.c
3. On line 24, remove the empty quotes and uncomment the quoted directory
4. Make sure that directory on line 24 points to the pd/nw directory
that's inside your copy of the repository on your local machine
5. In pd/src, do `make`
6. When it finishes, copy the main binary in purr-data/pd/bin to
wherever the main binary is installed on your machine.
6a. The main binary is usually either installed in /usr/bin, or
/opt/something/something.
6b. The main binary in the installation is usually called
'purr-data'-- if you installed from the OBS repos, for example.
However, the binary compiled in purr-data/pd/bin is usually named
pd-l2ork. (We need to fix that so it's *always* named 'purr-data', but
the build system is monstrous so nobody's attempted it yet.)

I really need to just add a startup flag to sets this directory at runtime.
