The build uses hardcodes -O3 but respects our CFLAGS anyway.  Some may
object that it shouldn't hardcode -O3 at all.

With sthen's MODTCL_WISH_ADJ suggestion applied and
--with-deken-os=OpenBSD[0] added to CONFIGURE_ARGS, ok jca@

You may want to name the package and port "puredata" which is more
descriptive and slightly easier to find, but fwiw "pd" is the name
used by FreeBSD and NetBSD already.  No strong feeling about it.
