Olpc3 vs Joyride

[victor]

I'd really like it if we get the 'straight' csound package updated,
too, as the software will benefit from more official exposure.
I hope we can improve things and make the whole process
smoother. At least now I don't need to be sponsored anymore,
so it should be simpler.
