Hi Rory,
i have not tried to compile with MinGW. I'll do so in the near future...
One word to threading.... threading need not be used. It's an option for
flext, enabled with -DFLEXT_THREADS.
So, most externals which don't use threading at all could compile just fine
with BorlandC++ or also MinGW.

greetings,
Thomas
