run Pd in verbose mode and load hexloader.
try to instantiate [mtx_*~] and watch out for the exact name of the
setup fun.
create a stub function of that very name that points to the real setup
function (look at "iemtx_mul__setup()" for how this is done)

obviously this could be done in a more intelligent way, by manually
calculating the setup-function name.


also be sure to add stubs for the hexloader built into Pd whenever they
differ (just repeat the above without hexloader loaded, and see what's
going on; you probably need to provide dummy libs like "mtx_*~.pd_linux"
in order to see the requested name)
IIRC, the hexloader built-into Pd does everything but filename-mangling;
therefore you still need the "hexloader" lib in order to load libraries
with "illegal" filenames (e.g. you cannot have a file named "mtx_>.dll"
on an NTFS/FAT32 filesystem)
