I fixed a few simple bugs, and theFLTK opcodes now appear to be working in
Csound 5 (on Windows, anyway). I didn't test more than just the knob example
in fl.csd, but it does work. It works both in csound and in CsoundVST. I
imagine at least some of the other widgets work, and I wouln't be surprised
if they work on Linux too. I should have a chance to test on Linux tomorrow.

The main problem with the usability of Csound5 for real-time work right now
is the excessive latency in the PortAudio build for the Windows multimedia
libraries. We need to get a DirectX or ASIO version going, or something. I
think if the audio latency improves Csound5 will be usable for both FLTK
widgets and real-time MIDI performance on Windows. I will be interested to
see what the Linux latency is tomorrow.
