That was just one of several that seem to be available. I've also looked 
at the source of pmidi

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/pmidi/pmidi-1.6.0.tar.gz?download

and it looks easily portable to being a PD extern, if I knew where to 
send the output...it looks easier to make it a builtin object along the 
lines of [midiin], because (sems to me) the pd MIDI interface is not 
exposed except by going through virtual midi devices. Most open-source 
command-line MIDI file parsers should compile on any system since they 
don't make system-dependent calls until the MIDI-output part.
