[flext] Max 6.1, Mac OS 10.9 and flext externals

[Thomas Grill]

Hi Stefano,
I would think that needs some further introspection. I am not totally sure, but it seems that 64-bit externals have to use the 64-bit DSP API which flext currently doesn't support. Actually it will be quite hard to support it.
Let's see.... i can look into it somewhen in late October, but i am very grateful for others contributing patches.
all the best, Thomas
