[Media_api] PortMIDI - asking how to contribute fixes and other concerns

[Fabien Costantini]

Hi Oron,
>I have been using PortMIDI and would like to contribute.

 So do I ;-)
I created on my workstation a svn repos whe I can 'diff' and 'merge' recent releases
with my modifications.
Using svnadmin and svn tools was estonishingly easier than I though.
Of course it would be nice to access a common svn web repos but meanwhile
i think we can stll provide patches and help with a local svn repos on our machines.

I would also tend  to agree that a memset() clearing the buffer would be nice especially as
we know that on win32 allocs are not zero-filled by default like in Unix systems.
