If this isn't fixed somwhow it'll reduce the effectiveness of MTASC's  
type checking when you develop for Flash 7, which most developers are  
still going to be doing for at least the next year (i.e. until Flash  
Player 8 adoption is sufficient to be worth our while).

I don't know if a second std directory is the answer, but I think  
it's worth thinking about how this can be solved in MTASC. I just  
wish I knew (or had the time to learn) OCaml so that I could help out  
properly.

Cheers,

Steve
