[PD] Linking externals on windows with mingw32

[Miller Puckette]

I'll keep s_bang, etc, alive in Pd vanilla, but if you want your extern to
run in threadable versions of libpd in the future you should not use it.  So
nobody's patch will break as far as I know - this just limits ones ability to
use old externs in, say, VST plug-ins powered by libpd.

cheers
