Yes.

Yes, but there are still many features missing in the backend (no
masks, no gradients, no bitmaps). It's just a matter of time.

folders) I require?

Hmm. Is a slim binary not enough?

sj> 5) Can I avoid compiling server, pluggin, testsuite folders? If yes how can 
I do that?

server is an essential part of Gnash, it won't work without (contains
implementations of the various Flash objects). Don't know what's
plugin, but testsuite is not required.

sj> 6) Is 15 frames per second generated for playing animation SWF (not video) 
files?

Depends on the movie, the backend used and the hardware, of course. I
got also 60 fps (AGG backend) on a P3 733MHz at 800x600 but that was a
simple movie.
