Yes, these are not included yet, but it should not be to hard.
Just make a "link" in the build/src directory to each external that
you want to compile. This is easy as long as the externals are
1 source file per external. (Look into one of the build/src files
how the link is done to be platform  independent).

These are closely related to how we proceed with flext (versions, etc).

yes, this will have some dependencies on windows at least, on linux
it doesnt need additional libraries.

No, Ihave split the debain packages according to the build system.
pd-externals just include externals that build without libraries
(except ogg, which we might put into a separate package).

And yes, on windows we will have to include the .dlls that are missing,
I think, on Linux we hope that they are on the system already.

Having to use additional libraries and still beeing platform independent
is not an easy problem to solve. We have to decide on a case by case
basis.
