this is because pd-vanilla has very few externals (an "external" is an
object that comes from a file other than the Pd-binary itself).

Pd-extended attempted to remove all internal objects from Pd and put
them into a "vanilla" library. that's why you see a mtof~.dll

see above.

well, christof already gave you the quick and dirty way: open the
help-patch of the object and see if it is a Pd-vanilla help patch.

a more correct (though cumbersome) way would be to start Pd-vanilla
without any libraries and paths loaded

create the object and see whether it instantiates.
if it does, check the Pd-console to make sure that it was not loaded
from some local file.
if it instantiates and is not from a local file, then it is an internal.
