to write everything in two languages, and now have to take special care that
things written in one of those languages works properly in a wholly separate
and somewhat limited deployment environment. Ah such sweet forgetting.

Maybe I'll screw around with passing properties down to sub-projects to
control their stack trace verbosity when I'm not sick.

- We use the ASC compiler, which works quite differently from compc/mxmlc. It doesn't attempt any mapping between class hierarchy and directory structure. You feed it source, that's it. This compiler is under continuous development, and the one shipped in Flex SDK 3 is buggy, so we supply our own in lib/asc.jar for the time being.
- Since much of Narya relies on classes that don't exist on Tamarin (e.g. DisplayObject), we have to isolate a specific subset of source. Right now that's done ridiculously explicitly as a list of class files, in etc/asc-files.txt. In the long run we will want to resolve this more elegantly, but there are no trivial solutions at hand.
- We have not implemented the full flash.utils.describeType() for Tamarin, but rather a subset of its functionality: one method to see if one type derives from another, and another method to extract the public variable names in an object. The environment-specific code has been isolated to com.threerings.util.env.Environment, and build.xml simply copies either Environment.as-tm or Environment.as-fp into place depending on what it's targeting.
- The ASC compilation links against lib/builtin.abc, which supplies information about core classes such as Object, Array, etc, and lib/thane.abc which is our homegrown emulation library containing e.g. flash.net.Socket and other things we need that's not part of the open-source code Adobe donated to Mozilla, but rather still in their proprietary Flash Player code.
I'm committing thane.abc and builtin.abc directly now, but they will shortly be built by the Thane project and published as maven whatnots. We could auto-publish lib/asc.jar too, but I think we may want more explicit control over how we version that.

projects that use Narya and now need google-collect.jar but it had to be done.
