I became interested in PD, as it looks like you can build an audio engine from the ground up, but I haven't read anything to say that patches can be compiled into a form that is executable on target machines that don't have PD installed.
It's possible to run PD directly from a windows cdrom; just put everything required (PD + tcl/tk) on a cdrom and lauch your work from a batch file that includes the paths to PD and tcl/tk. The patches would not be compiled and/or protected, but it would work. If you want a fancy front end, you can use Flash or Director to communicate with PD using XMLsocket or OSC. In this scheme, PD would run with the -nogui option.
