after trawling through these new (and rather funky!) forums i get the idea that it is possible to create AU plugins using MaxMsp? 

Have i got the wrong end of the stick entirely. 

also while i'm on the subject.. are there any tutorials anywhere about the whole plug-in creation thing? I can't find it mentioned in any of the max/msp documentation?

You're right. You'll have to look at the Pluggo Documentation.

There's only a couple new objects for you to learn.

There was a folder distributed with an old version of Pluggo, called 

PluggoDoc, which contained GettingStarted.pdf, PluggoDevGuide31.pdf and 

I can't find them anymore on Cycling' 74's.

that dev document doesn't seem to exist anymore.. but i'm not sure if it's relevant.. i don't want to create a pluggo plug in, i want o create an AU plug in, i.e. i don;t want to have to intall pluggo to use it? is this actually possible or does max/msp only let you build VST and pluggo plugins?

You'll need to put it into the Library/Audio/Plugins/VST/Pluggo folder 

and then run Pluggo AU Scan. While plugins are deceptively simple to 

make, I highly recommend looking at the dev-manual, as many of these
