[PD] [pool] binary for Mac Intel?

[Phil Stone]

Why do things only sink in after I've pressed 'send'?  :-)  Hans is 
saying it ([pool] and other flext stuff) is in the official PD-extended 
releases, just not in the auto-builds.  So it's not so bad for 
re-distribution after all; one just has to be careful with using the 
auto builds, because that wipes out the flext binaries.
