[flext] More on naming...

[Jamie Bullock]

Hi Thomas,

Thanks...

Actually, it seems sufficient to add to flbase.h:

#if defined(FLEXT_USE_HEX_SETUP_NAME) && defined(FLEXT_SYS_PD)
    #define FLEXT_STPF_0(NAME) setup_##NAME
    #define FLEXT_STPF_1(NAME) setup_##NAME
#elif FLEXT_SYS == FLEXT_SYS_PD || FLEXT_SYS == FLEXT_SYS_MAX
	#define FLEXT_STPF_0(NAME) NAME##_setup
	#define FLEXT_STPF_1(NAME) NAME##_tilde_setup
#else
#error Platform not supported
#endif

And then to do something like:     

	typedef class ml_svm ml0x2dsvm;
	FLEXT_NEW("ml-svm", ml0x2dsvm);

I guess you might consider this a bit ugly, but it works for my purposes.
