 This is why I added xpi support, to make it easy to update. There are
some sysadmin bits left to do the the updates, etc.. all work, I just
haven't gotten around to yet. I'm swamped with tasks right now...

  Right, but Gnash now pops up it's own dialog box to tell you to
install the codec package. That way we don't have to depend on the
distro to do the right thing, cause most don't.

  I keep trying to get back to RTMP hacking, but instead I've been doing
lots of build & config hacking (python & as3), added minimal
ActionScript 3 library support, maintain the build farm, etc... Too much
happening these days...
