Ah, just remembered this.

I have not dealt yet with flext and friends which used to be separate 
rpm packages. I noticed that svn pulls the source for them into the 
checkout directory from Grill's repository, but nothing gets built (as 
far as I could tell in a simple look). So I will at some point try to 
get that build and be part of the pd-extended package (as opposed to 
separate packages).
