Spooky Patch

This patch Allows you to send any port to a remote destination receiver. This works within macros, and also works between compositions in the same application.

This release of our Spooky Send/Receive Patch fixes a couple bugs and adds some additional control to the sender.

On the sender, there’s now an option to disable the patch’s auto-cleaning behaviour. Usually you’ll want this to be enabled to prevent memory leaks, but in special cases (in iterators, or when using it as a data-store), you don’t want cleaning to take place.

Occasionally, compositions that used this patch would checkerboard on startup. This has been fixed.

Additionally, a lot of stale code (leftovers from Tiger-era development) was removed, making the patch smaller, faster, and more reliable. It should still work in Tiger.
