Bug#652092: Gnash does not handle --enable-avm2

[Ilguiz Latypov]

Package: gnash
Version: 0.8.10

The --enable-avm2 option causes a warning in the configure script saying that the script did not recognize the option.  I found that configure.ac commented out its handling by putting "dnl" at the beginning of each line.  Removing the "dnl" (delete to new line?) words and removing the build directory gnash-0.8.10~git.master21430, then running "make deb" resulted in a build break,

It seems that the handling of the option was put away because it did not follow later changes in the code and/or did not agree with those changes.

So I guess addining the --enable-avm2 option to debian/rules did not enable AVM2, and my tests on a flash web site confirm that.

I tried lightspark, but it gave Unsupported ActionScript exception on the "yet unsupported Flash file," 

http://www.rogersondemand.com/f/hero.swf?ver=2.9.5.13

I wonder if the description of gnash could refer to lightspark as the package extending capabilities of gnash.
