I'd like to have a binary distribution for Falcon which is a complete 
integrated SDK with both Falcon and the old compiler available. This is what 
the Falcon branch currently produces. The generated/dist/sdk directory in 
Falcon has a bin directory with the new tools and a bin-legacy directory with 
the old tools.

As for Falcon being used in other IDEs, I'd love to see that happen, but I have 
no way to make it happen so I'm not thinking about that much at the moment.

One of things mentioned on the Wiki is that there's currently no binary 
distribution available.
"No binary distributions are available. Perhaps someone will volunteer to set 
up automated builds and a build download page?"

What exactly would such a binary distribution be? Would it be the files of 
Falcon which could be merged with the Apache Flex SDK, to use Falcon instead of 
the current ActionScript compiler?

How useful would Falcon be without the SDK integration - maybe for projects 
utilizing the ActionScript parsing features of Falcon, without generating an 
SWF? That's not the main interested of the Apache Flex project, but Falcon 
could be used in IDEs like Netbeans or IntelliJ for ActionScript editors, right?
