well, I'm finding out its not that easy.  At least for a windoze newbie
like myself.   I can compile my external and run it with cygwin.  But, it
only works inside the cygwin environment and is dependant on the
cygwin1.dll

I've been trying to compile flext and my ext with -mno-cygwin (which
should in theory compile things that run without cygwin)...but it is
prooving to be pretty tough.

only difference i notice so far is that one has to link with -lpd under
win.
