yes I also ran into that problem already several times, but I think you
need only the sources for pd 0.40.3 which you can get from miller's site
or the latest from the autobuild server (which is I think always one day
behind the developer svn/cvs.

I don't think you have to compile Pd yourself to get flext working, you
already have it in your pd-extended.app, but I am not totally sure. just
place the sources somewhere and point flext to them. and then flext will
install your externals either directly into pd-extended.app or you have
to do this by hand.

no, although a "pd-plus" distro would be nice, where you install only a
very basic pd version that features externals installation like firefox
plugins.
