Shouldn't we depend on released versions?  I see that libsoup-2.4 needs
glib-2.15, and that's a development version of glib.

It looks like I would need to recompile glib, gtk and several other
libraries, and then libsoup-2.4.  I may not get around to doing it soon.

Maybe swfdec could be backported to the latest libsoup 2.2.x?  In many
cases, a backport is less intrusive that than a forward port.  Or maybe
the patch for libsoup-2.4 could be held in a separate branch until
libsoup-2.4 is released?

You did a great job fixing things, and I realize that I shouldn't be
complaining about having to install a few libraries, but I'm afraid that
the current code will be getting less testing than it otherwise would.
