[PD] flext for win

[Rory Walsh]

With regards the dll thing, is it possible to compiule
a flext external with the MinGW, this would mean that
you do not need a seperate dll to run the external?
But by using MinGW I think they're might be problems
with threading issues? I know that for example I just
tried to compile a simple soundapp I had which
compiles in Cygwin using MinGW and I got many many
errors about pthread.h? Has anyone else had similar
problem with MinGW, I would be interested to know?

regards,
Rory.
