Well, well, this file was completelly forgoten by us :-) It is not even
available on CTAN, but only in distributions like teTeX and TL (and on 
GUST ftp server). I touched it to clarify that it is simply pd and will
upload to the TL's and GUST repos. Thomas, please follow that for teTeX.
Frank, thanks for reminding that.

All the best,
