[flext] Building individual externs from command line

[Jamie Bullock]

Hi Matthias,

That Makefile looks pretty useful, thanks for sharing. 

I just went for the quick n dirty approach: https://github.com/cmuartfab/ml-lib/blob/develop/build-flext-individual.sh

Since this project needs to scale I will probably switch to something along the lines of your Makefile next time I visit the build system.

best,

Jamie
