[PD] compiling GEM on windows

[Florian Grond]

Thanks for advice about the linking problems when compiling GEM on windows.

I managed to get the freshly compiled GEM.dll and it works fine.
I had to disable quicktime support, which I don't need and I had to 
disable some font classes because of aconf.h that I could not find in 
the GEM Libs and which was included from \src\FTFont.h.

I now want to write my own GEM external. Therefor would have some questions:
Is there a documentation about how to write GEM externals?
If not: I would like to write an object that composes an new image out 
of  the history of images (say from a cam or a movie).
I thought about using the pix_buffer object for that purpose.
Are there any better objects to use, and are there any typical pitfalls 
to avoid when programming GEM objects?

Thanks,

Florian
