AW: [mtasc] Image Injector

[Dan Shryock]

What about integrating the image linker and mtasc as an swfc task in
ant.  This would provide easy integration for many IDEs (jEdit and
Eclipse for example), and would let you use an xml syntax for the
images to be linked (Thus removing any changes to the code which
aren't actionscript related).  It would also solve many peoples
problems of not wanting to manually generate lists of all of the as
files to include because of ant's fileset commands.  Of course these
are just my thoughts ;)
