hey Ty,

In the current source tree you can compile SWHX in Linux and display flash
content on the desktop. What's missing is the interactivity stuff, and as
far as I remember the sync mechanism has to be added. The codebase is in C,
neko VM is embedded, which we shouldn't touch anyways, and the  X/GTK stuff
which is also working thanks to Vassily and Dan (fischer).

It should be relative easy to continue and implement the interactivity code.
Starting point is linux/system.c file. Win and Mac counterparts could give
some idea.

Also, Nicholas and Edwin has done a teriffic job, IMO, because the code is
very readable, it's clean good old fashioned C with some sexy Neko VM calls.

So I say go ahead give it a try! Edwin could give you write access if you
request. Dan can also help out during the process.

good luck!
