I can see the release script for Windows, but not one for the Mac. I
wonder if that's squirreled away on your friend's mac box.

Either way I agree it would be better for Dan to provide the release
builds, since he may be able to get swfmill statically linked on a
Mac.

Sure, that I can do. I need to test the changes again though because
last night they weren't working, but I'm not sure if that's down to
the changes I made late yesterday or if I was too tired to test
properly.

I agree. I'm going to try and give some of the other tags some love -
FileAttributes and Meta are on my hit list first since they seem
relatively trivial.

I can provide a diff for my changes, just as soon as I've tested them
again this morning.

Wicked - I'll give you a shout when I have something stable.

Cheers,
