[PD] flext, threading

[Thomas Grill]

Hi August,
this is fairly easy.

The functionality of flext is split into several classes, of which the most
important are:

flext: This one only has static elements, providing basic functionality but
nothing external-related
flext_base: class for message externals
flext_dsp: inherited from flext_base with DSP functions

If you only want to use flext threading you just need to inherit from the
class flext.
See flext_support.h (or the flext documentation on the website) for all the
methods contained therein.

good luck,
Thomas
