After Bertrand's email there was another thread where we got a "ruling" that
playerglobal.swc was a "prerequisite". That is because it isn't an option.
Nothing will compile without it. It represents the platform, and none of
its binary information goes into the SWF.
So, there is no way to auto-download that within Apache rules AFAICT. We
could go through the process of becoming making Apache an Adobe
re-distributor, but I'm not sure that's worth the effort. It also possible
that Spoon or some other entity could become and Adobe redistributor and
distribute its own packages that look much more like what Adobe SDKs do
today.

BlazeDS is optional. You can write apps without it. We had to make it
optional because it is under MPL at this time.
