[OSC_dev] New developer's library

[Andy W. Schmeder]

FWIW, I have "reinvented" the osc parsing engine at least three  
times.  Usually for reasons of efficiency (microcontrollers, high  
performance streams).  Slight variations on the wheel, if you prefer. :)

Anyways, not all designs fit into the approach used by the "kitchen  
sink" libraries.
