 Goals/features of the package:
 
+pros:
 - better readability of code compared to straight C externals
 - faster development, more robust coding
 - sharing of common methods and data by using base classes
 
+cons:
+- introduces a small overhead to speed (esp. to messages)
+
 
 see flext.h for the documented base classes

 0.1.2:
 - defines for callback-to-method functions and method setup (FLEXT_CALLBACK*, FLEXT_ADD*)

+- deprecated support for default arguments (A_DEFFLOAT and A_DEFSYMBOL).. use GIMME instead!
+- flext now uses PD's or Max's memory allocation functions (for safety in Max's overdrive)
 - added outlets for anythings

 - cleaner makefile for BCC
 - makefile for MS VC++ 6
 - should we use a namespace?

 - test loadbang upon object creation in Max/MSP
 
 features:
