If necessary, I believe that we can create our own custom playerglobal.swc
without running into license issues.

Basically, the official playerglobal.swc contains only the APIs, and no
implementation, so it's basically like the typedef/externs SWCs that we
create for JS libraries in Royale

The Apache Flex repo contains full ASDoc XML files for playerglobal.swc
under an Apache license. These files should contain enough information
about variable/property types and method signatures that someone could
write a parser to get all of the data we need to generate AS3 stub classes
and build a SWC from that.
