The pd/tk interface doesn't need to change, at least so far it hasn't. That is one thing I have been working to keep completely intact. One thing that will have to change is s_inter.c since it handles the startup procedure. Mostly, I think it'll be drastically simplified as most of the #ifdefs can be removed.
So far the C changes have been (diff attached):
- deleted t_tk.h, t_tkcmd.c, t_main.c - removed #include "t_tk.h" from the iemguis (g_*.c) (unneeded in any version) - changed pdgui start line in s_inter to work on GNU/Linux
All that said, if you want to take this code Miller, then as a lump is really the only way. Just taking bits would be missing the bulk of the improvements. Or would be close to another rewrite in the amount of work, in my estimation.

Well, I'm using the ddd stuff in an extern I haven't released. My intent has been to rewrite all the Pd dialogs using ddd once it was stable. But now that other folks are working on the tk code I'll just wait to see what they propose.
I'm split between the idea of incorporating pd.tk changes piecemeal or as a lump. If the latter, it would be important not to make too many changes to the pd/tk interface...

That aside. Just making sure: This devel branch is branching of vanilla 0.41-4 and the only focus is the gui (as opposed to also merging devel-0.39 features)?
since 0.42 is just out, shouldn't all work be based on that?
afaict, most changes in pd.tk from 0.41 to 0.42 seem to be pretty trivial. once i am able to get pd-devel running (i haven't re-tried yet), i would volunteer to incorporate these changes
@ miller: afaics the data driven dialogs (ddd) are only in a concept stage, they are not used anywhere yet. is this correct? if so, i would just ignore them for now :-)
@ pd-devel-team: iirc, the idea of pd-devel so far was to not tuch any c-code but only the tcl/tk side of things. how true is this? (i noticed quite a lot of affected C-files; i really hope this will not make the attempts of pd-devel void (i thought the deal was making pd-gui.tk usable should not force miller to accept changes on the C-side)
