retitle 187275 RFP: swftools -- collection of SWF (Flash) manipulation and generation
thanks

Hi,

On closer inspection of the package, it is using some of the code from
L.A.M.E, which we cannot distribute with Debian due to patent issues.
This obviously means that swftools cannot be distributed with debian
either, unless the L.A.M.E code is removed.

I shall leave this RFP for someone with more time to strip out the LAME
code and test it.
