[PD] problems with building flext with mingw

[Thomas Grill]

Hi Jonathan,
thanks for your feedback - i have to admit i haven't run mingw (or  
even Windows) for years. It's almost a surprise that it still works  
with some tweaking.
I would be thankful for a diff to patch the flext build system  
according to your findings.
gr~~~
