Hi Ben,
in my section of the PD cvs there's still the project guitest which is
exactly that.
It's abandoned since i decided to go a different way, but it still compiles.

There is flgui.{c,h} which is the flext base class, and flguiobj.{c,h} which
defines some graphics primitives.
main.cpp implements a very simple graphical (fl)external.

A number of unresolved problems are remaining though, for example where to
make the distinction between message- and dsp-based external but it should
give you an impression how to start.....

good luck,
Thomas
