I have wired a build from Tuesday into the Installer as the “FlexJS
Nightly Build”.  You have to right-click and select “Show Dev Builds” to
see it in the list.   I will update those builds on occasion but not
always “nightly”.  Please try it and see if all of the externs stuff got
in there, and the latest FDB, and if it still works in IJ.

Still no word from the MSDN folks so the CI server is still asleep.  What
form did others use to apply for Apache MSDN?  Maybe I’m using the wrong
form.
