[chuck] OSC + Documentation

OSC support is (like a ton of other stuff) in the works (it's not there, as n++k
noted) - look for OSC in about 1 month (many other features/bugs coming first).
 So far there is only shred-level control from the outside via on-the-fly
programming mechanisms.  Several more internal interfaces are on the way as
well, such as asynchronous I/O events and networking.

Documentation is a big priority, when Perry and I return to Princeton (next week
for me), there will be a significant doc update.

> How stable does it run on Linux and what is the recommended platform?

So far, I don't think it runs stable anywhere. (always fixing to make better
though)
We don't really have a recommended platform (we embrace/abhor all platforms!)

> Are there any sound samples available?

Only in the form of ChucK source examples so far.  Audio examples may a good
idea.

Best,
Ge!
