[PD] flext external problem

Hi Frank,

Using a constructor with a default argument like mydsp(float arg=0) you
still have to give a creation argument in PD because the default values are
not (yet?) recognized.

There is a bug in flext v 0.1.1:
Please change the line flbase.h:289 from
FLEXT_CLREF(NEW_CLASS::m_name,NEW_CLASS ## EXTERN_NAME), \
to
FLEXT_CLREF(NAME,NEW_CLASS ## EXTERN_NAME), \

i think your external should load now!
