[PD] missing link

[guenter geiger]

Hi Iain,

with Windows, it isn't sufficient for a function to not be static in order
to be called from within a dxnamic library. You have to declare the
function as extern, (see all the EXTERN keywords in m_pd.h).

So you need something like
EXTERN sigsqrt_perfom(..) in m_pd.h and recompile pd, otherwise pd won't 
export the function to your external .. (I would rather copy paste
sigsqrt_perfomr into my external .. this way everyone could use it
without recompiling pd).
