Here's a younger posting.

  http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/swftools-common/2010-07/msg00035.html

Note particularly the lines toward the bottom of the <snip> section,
a quote taken from the source code.  You can also compare this with the
preamble headings written inside other files from the source tree..

http://wiki.swftools.org/viewgit/?a=tree&p=swftools-git%20&h=7579c6596f1dc31028b055bf36e7ce62f7c7aa14&hb=878f001061607afebc383cae58144444c0984c4f

Maybe those lines should be quoted on the wiki, as clarification for
others like yourself, who raise this question? ;o)
