David, from your pdf (yeah, I read it ;-) ) "To facilitate supporting multiple targets, Goshawk will not generate SWC library files as they can only be used by a compiler targetting SWFs. Instead, the language-agnostic parsetree generated by the ANTLR front-end will be used as a library file format. This may be stored in XML, JSON on binary format subject to future experimentation on the best storage form."
This sounds like a serious limitation - especially for Flex based library projects which is a pretty important feature. Can you please elaborate on the workaround you hinted in your doc?
