[flext] evoke "... couldn't create" Pd-error

[Thomas Grill]

Hi Patrick,
have a look at the flext tutorial example adv1:
https://svn.grrrr.org/ext/trunk/flext/tutorial/adv1/main.cpp

Therein InitProblem() is called to signal a problem - a different way is to simply throw a C++ exception from within the constructor.
