You should take a look at server/asobj/ClassHierarchy.{cpp,h}.
There is the code for on-demand loading of classes (by chad).
The idea is gnash would load classes only when needed.
ASnative wasn't considered at that time, we may want to split
filling up the native table from registering global classes
so we don't load the GC if not needed (ASnative table fillup
doesn't create objects).

Note that if you explicitly initialize a class you should tell
ClassHierarchy you're doing it, so it won't waste time adding triggers
for on-demand loading.
