this of course is plain wrong. the "setup"-function _never_ creates any inlets and outlets, or even an object. it is the "new"-function (aka creator) that handles instantiation. it is perfectly possible to create a dll that does not provide any objectclasses (and is still "loaded" by Pd). it is not possible to instantiate such a nonexistant objectlass though - it would always "just sit there" in dashed lines... fgmadsr.
