But if I have project/source path/swc library dependencies and compiler arguments, how will I let other know about this? List everything in a README? Then there is a very good chance that the README will get out of sync with the project over the course of time. IMHO, a little bit of clumsiness is fine because it makes it so much easier to share and set up projects. Once again, lowering the barrier to contribute to Apache Flex.
