  Not all the AS class definitions files have an _as on the end, but the
ones that don't are ancient. Most of those haven't been changed since I
originally added the AS2 stubs several years ago. But the plan is to
only move the AS definitions themselves, not the actual functionality.

  It should also be possible to initialize the class library to work for
both avm1 and avm2, one gets looked up through the package mechanism,
the others via the existing ClassHierarchy table.

  I'll encourage the interns to learn Doxygen. :-) I like the wiki, but
I agree many of these comments should be in the code itself.
