The build tools are exactly the same as the ones in Pd-l2ork 1.0-- a
set of recursive
makefiles which call external library makefiles as specified in
externals/Makefile.

I vaguely remember it not building under msys2 which is the environment used
for building Purr Data under Windows. I do remember noticing
that flext uses a set of custom build scripts and has its own package file
format.

Then I noticed that the main build script for flext isn't idempotent.
You have to run
it once, manually edit a file that gets created, then run it again.

Finally, I noticed that the recipe in externals/Makefile for building
flext under
Pd extended actually ran the build script THREE times instead of two.

With that in mind, my strong suggestion is for someone to improve flext's
build system upstream and make it use one of the several standard build
systems instead of a set of custom scripts which are difficult to reason about.
In this case we could easily ship it with Purr Data and easily maintain it.

If that isn't possible, I'll happily accept merge requests for building/shipping
flext as long as the submitter agrees to maintain it going forward
instead of me.
