[flext] Problem building flext on Win10 for Max8

[Thomas Grill]

Hi Ico,
flext is still working very well, at least for me. The inline assembly is optional for supported platforms.
It must be said that Microsoft's take on C++ compilers has always been "special" and since i don't use Windows i can't support those specialities.
I usually compile Windows externals with well-behaved MinGW under linux.

Totally unrelated but maybe of interest: A while ago the FLEXT_INLINE define has been introduced which allows to compile externals with flext inline only, that is, no linking to object files is needed.

best, Thomas
