Thanks for recommending mknob ;-)

I'd like to do an update of moonlib soon, as it has received some
improvements: sfread2~ understands a new [index( message (thx to Antoine
Villeret), and mknob now better supports zooming.

About the latter, I'd like to hear your opinion (you all mknob users...)
about the following problem (and the solution I propose):

mknob poses a particular problem: because its circular shape doesn't comply
to Pd graphical paradigm (every other objects are rectangular shaped),
iolets are floating in an empty space near the knob; because it's visually
ugly, and I don't want to surround the knob with a rectangular box, I chose
not to draw the iolets, even when the mknob is not bounded to receive/send
symbols. The problem (for explicitly connected  knobs) is now that it's
somewhat tricky to guess where you have to draw the connection to/from, and
that the wire connects to/from nowhere. This is acceptable for small knob,
but when it becomes bigger it's really weird.

So the only idea I see (apart from hacking Pd sources...) is to setup 3
inlets and 3 outlets, so that you can connect from/to the one in the
middle; the wire is then actually connected to the circle. I succeeded to
code this behaviour, keeping to possibility to use any inlet and sending to
the three outlets. It's maybe a little far-fetched, but its works. What do
you think of it?
