It's not as obvious as you might think from the archive. I searched quite a while before I posted my question. One would have to know to search on "flext + pd-extended" to find the threads you're indicating. Someone looking to use Memento (which requires [pool]), might not know this whole history about incompatible build systems for flext-based objects, and its implications for using [pool].
I'm in no way complaining about PD-extended and all the work that has gone into it, neither am I dissing the wonderful [pool] (or other flext objects) -- I realize there's no simple solution here, either. It's just another obstacle to building objects that non-PD/SVN experts can use, however. For instance, I'd like to upgrade my [polywavesynth]'s state-saving from sssad to Memento (since I'm already OSC-enabled) -- but this will complicate distribution greatly. Thanks again for the pointer to the binaries, Thomas. Getting some of the "everybody already knows this" knowledge about flext-based objects into PDPedia would be very helpful.
