Yes, the httrack flash plugin. Because of a stupid license, I can neither
distribute the macromedia's sources, nor the binaries to many locations
(including debian mirrors, as the license is non-free, even for binaries)

Debian binaries:
<http://debian.httrack.com/dists/unstable/main/binary-i386/>

If you want to compile the plugin, do the following:

- download, compile and install httrack
(http://debian.httrack.com/dists/unstable/main/source/httrack_3.39.1.orig.tar.gz)
- download
<http://debian.httrack.com/dists/unstable/main/source/libhttrack-swf_1.0.orig.tar.gz>

Download the flash SDK (and accept the terms of the license) at:
<http://www.macromedia.com/software/flash/download/search_engine/index.html>

Then, copy the three files from this sdk into the swf/ directory:
swf2html.cpp
swf2html.h
swf2htmlstags.h

Two of these files have to be modified using the patch (swf2html.patch) given
in this directory.

Apply the patch 'swf2html.patch' using:
patch -p0 < swf2html.patch

Then build the module:
make

and copy it in the /usr/lib directory, and reprobe modules:
cp libhtsswf.so /usr/lib
ldconfig

Yes, this is a real pain to do, but I requested a license change, without any
reply from Macromedia..
