I just added support for pd pointers in GridFlow. This allows me to pass a
full pointer in just one argument of the grid message ($2) instead of as a
pair of floats ($2,$3). The other solution for AMD64 would have been to
use three or four floats.

The support for pd pointers also allows one to use Pd's
"datastructures" with [shunt], [fork], etc.

BTW I also made [shunt] be a shortcut for [shunt 2] as you asked for a
few days ago.

The problems with amd64 and format/png.c,jpeg.c also appear to be fixed.
