Hi Michael, I don't see any way around this at the moment. I assumed I
could do the following to get a path relative to the Flex install:
<output>
${flexlib}/bar/out.swc
</output>
But I tried this, and the flexlib environement variable is being parsed
twice, which creates a bad path. I'll enter a bug on all of this.
