Re: PureVST: undefined symbol : s_float

s_float is defined in Pd (which is single threaded) but not in libpd 
when it's compiled for multi-threading, as it has to be for purevst to 
work.  In place of s_float, the extern can use gensym("float") to 
circumvent the problem.  That will require recompiling the extern.

If it's inconvenient to recompile the extern there's an ugly workaround 
you can use instead - use the "pd~" object to load a separate Pd 
instance to host the noisome extern.  That instance will be 
single-threaded since it will be ordinary Pd, run as a separate process.
