For the swfobject.js include part the snippet could reference the static Google AJAX libraries API location of: http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/swfobject/2.1/swfobject.js
Still messy since you should be placing the include and init code in the <head> of the document, rather than arbitrarily with the <body>. As you rightly said, just having the final generated code is not a workable solution. @jd - If you check out the embed code from YouTube etc, you can see that they have to remove any extra functionality such as Flash detection / ExpressInstall/ alt content etc and just hope for the best with their snippet. The only other way around it is to have the user pointed back to some server location which would dynamically create snippet code in the page like how ad servers work to display Flash ads - they either write js or iframe code into the calling page.

You could probably accomplish something like this, but the user is still gonna need to include swfobject.js to get the benefit of our library, so, giving them the "final" markup won't be that helpful cross-browser... you could give them the initial static markup that you use, and there's a number of ways that you could do that... but if you dynamically give them the markup that was generated by swfobject for your page, just for their browser environment, then any of their users who use it with a different browser will have a broken flash experience.
