Attachment: patch

the patch contains tools to convert abc to swf and a runner script to invoke the player/browser calling the swf and capturing output to sdout.  The flashrunner.sh script can be set to AVM environment variable and plugged into runtests.py.

test/util/flashrunnner/readme.txt has setup instructions.

patch

Should document a couple of more things in the readme:

+ testcases must use print(), trace() is not supported
+ should not use threads with runtests
+ how do people get the playerglobal.abc?
+ before compiling the swf should make sure that PLAYERGLOBALABC is defined
