Well, there are instructions around for using Ant, I believe. I use maven myself and just released v1.1 of the flex maven plugin. These tend to be a bit more robust than using a shell script, and both can include configuration to interact with your CVS/SVN/whatever server.
You're right though, the documentation on the command-line approach to flex compilation is a little weak, and lots of options are documented without a lot of real-world examples, sadly. I would tend to take the simplest approach first, only adding the options you know you are using based on your FB settings, and add what you need on top. I've little familiarity with relevant ANT builds of flex, but if you decide to try out maven and are having any trouble, shoot me an e- mail, and I'll try to help. Christian.
