[flext] Building individual externs from command line

[Matthias Geier]

Hi Jamie, hi Thomas, hi list.

I wanted to do a similar thing recently and because I didn't find
anything better I hacked together a Makefile:

https://github.com/SoundScapeRenderer/ssr/blob/55f8c3239a43fc971cb26a00e7e8b7b4ac95d27b/flext/Makefile

This way I can compile several externals in one "make" call which all
use the same package.txt.

But it's quite ugly and not very flexible and I hope there is a better solution!

@Thomas: my externals all use the same source files (except one) and
only differ in the NAME variable, therefore it seems tedious to
provide an individual package.txt for each, is there a better way?

cheers,
Matthias
