I just learned this tidbit that relates to this thread. -target-player is
parsed and is used to replace the tokens
{targetPlayerMajorVersion} and {targetPlayerMinorVersion} that appear in
any of the config files specified for mxmlc.
This is why this works in flex-config.xml
<!-- Specifies the minimum player version that will run the compiled SWF.
-->
<target-player>11.1</target-player>
...
<external-library-path>
<path-element>libs/player/{targetPlayerMajorVersion}.{targetPlayerMinorVers
ion}/playerglobal.swc</path-element>
</external-library-path>
