I don't think, that this would make sense: flext is a kind of library,
that flext externals use, like (f)iiwu~ uses libiiwusynth and other
externals use other libraries. 

Also it means, that I would have to retract my externals from CVS, as
they all use flext :(

But maybe flext could go into CVS as well? 

I didn't have time to check out your build system yet, but of course,
those are things, that make a general configuration and compilation
difficult. If someone introduces an external, that uses another
library, the build system must be updated, doesn't it? Add to that the
whole bunch of platforms and compilers (GCC, BCC, MS, CW,...), that
shall be supported, and we have a fine mess.
