  You can ignore libamf for now, as nothing uses it yet. I probably 
shouldn't have enabled it as part of the build because most of that code 
is at a brain dump level, and not really more than barely started. It's 
obviously not 64 bit aware yet either. The next pass through the code 
should leave it in a much better state. What's there now is just code 
that attempts to implement AMF from a few notes I found on the net.

  I'm kindof hoping somebody else would take on maintaining the amf 
library, because it seems useful outside of Gnash and without a Win32 
machine, I can't really test it till the details are worked out more. I 
have plenty of other things I'd rather be focusing on...
