Why do things only sink in after I've pressed 'send'? :-) Hans is saying it ([pool] and other flext stuff) is in the official PD-extended releases, just not in the auto-builds. So it's not so bad for re-distribution after all; one just has to be careful with using the auto builds, because that wipes out the flext binaries.
