my experience with code has been mainly with max-externals and i offer a collection of over a hundred objects for free download.
That's a quite impressive list. How many of them are abstractions and how many are written in C ?
BTW I'm curious about what you use [xorlist] for...
i'm now interested in porting most of these objects to PD, on the one hand for selfish reasons: to have my tools available for my own work, but also with the idea of sharing them the same way than i do in Max/MSP.
Most of those should be really easy to port if they are written in C: you mostly have to just search-and-replace some struct names.
Abstractions are a little bit harder because I don't know of a MAX->Pd file converter (does Krzysztof know?).
Some of the externals will be harder because they use functions that are outside the intersection between MAX and Pd APIs. (By intersection I mean things that don't have a direct equivalent so that you can't port it by a dumb search-and-replace)
You will have to be careful about nameclashes. You may also find that several of your externals already have an equivalent under another name in Pd.
