[swfmill] [help needed] release script for OSX universal binaries

[Dan Shryock]

Actually it looks like I am wrong, according to this page:

http://developer.apple.com/documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/universal_binary/universal_binary_compiling/chapter_2_section_7.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40002217-CH206-240191

you can specify two different arch flags to gcc 4.0 like the following:
-arch ppc -arch i386

Sorry if I caused any confusion.

I think the first place to look is at the format of  Info.plist for app bundles, that should tell you some info on what meta is needed to consider something a universal binary.  Oh, and if that is the case, it would almost be pointless becase an app bundle is specifically for when an application has a gui, which would mean there is no point for swfmill.  Hope this helps.
