Konqueror native flash plugin

[George Staikos]

  I have checked in the start of a Konqueror native flash plugin in 
kdenonbeta/kswfdec.  It's not really much, because 99.9% of the work was 
already done by http://swfdec.sourceforge.net/ .  The kpart just sets up the 
widget and embeds the swf_play app.  You don't want to use this if you want 
working flash and you can use Macromedia's plugin.  It does not do 
everything, but it does seem to be able to render images and animations from 
Flash 4/5/6, as well as some sound.  Scripting is a common use of flash, and 
this is not working.

   If you are on a non-Macromedia approved operating system or cpu, then this 
plugin is for you.  Give it a try.  If you want to help, please contribute to 
the debugging and send patches to swfdec.  I had a conversation with the 
author tonight and he is going to help us remove gtk dependencies from the 
package so we can build a KDE based player application as well.  I think this 
has a lot of potential.  Feel free to patch the kpart (carefully), but it 
works now so please don't break it. :)  It really is just a hack, but it 
really doesn't need much cleanup, and combined with a KDE "kswf_play" 
application, we'll have a full KDE solution.  The real work remains with the 
swf decoder and player.  There is still much work to do there.

  Enjoy!
