[swfmill] unable to compile swfmill-0.2.12

[Ralf Fuest]

Hello sub, 
did you download a source code package or did you use an svn version?
When you are using a source code package you normally don't need to run
autogen.sh at all, an simple ./configure should be enough.

The errors show that some of the libxml include files are missing. Do
you have the "libxml2-dev" package installed?
