[swfmill] swfmill maintainer, progress

[Benjamin Wolsey]

It seems nothing came of the thread about finding a new maintainer for
swfmill, and there hasn't been any discernible progress for about a
year.

I know of no other free tools that give such good low-level access to
AS3 and SWF bytecode together. I need it for testing Gnash.

To this end, I've added support for the DefineSceneAndFrameLabelData
tag, introduced a rudimentary testsuite for regression testing, and made
the code slightly more C++ standard compliant, as well as gaining a
small speed increase for generating SWFs.

I would like these changes to go into a public release; besides being
essential for Gnash testing, they improve swfmill's functionality for
everyone else.

I see three options now:

1. Someone else steps forward to maintain swfmill and reviews my changes
for inclusion.
2. I take over as maintainer (yes, I will volunteer) and commit them
myself.
3. I push my private git branch to a public repository as a development
branch and work on it there until the authors of swfmill respond (I
guess that means Daniel) or I decide what else to do.
