Hi,

So I read the code and now it's a little clearer why the SWC part references a 
lot of the SWF stuff. A SWC is nothing more than a Zip file containing the 
library content in form of an SWF as well as the static resources (CSS Files, 
Assets etc.).


While writing the output for the SWF a digest is created (unless the library is 
signed, which shouldn't be possible at all as we don't have signed libraries 
anymore).


As last step the catalog.xml is created, which is sort of an index of the 
content of the SWF (probably so the compiler knows where to get type 
definitions from when compiling). This catalog also contains the digest for the 
SWF so the compiler can quit with an error, if the saved digest doesn't match 
the calculated digest of the SWF and therefore the index values can't match the 
real positions int the file.


Now my question:

As we don't have signed RSLs and never will again ... how about removing code 
related with this from Falcon?
