compiler that, instead of creating a SWF or SWC, cross compiles MXML and ActionScript
to JavaScript.  It is intended for use as the cross-compiler for Apache FlexJS SDKs.  

The only major change in this release is to speed up cross-compilation by only copying a subset of the Google Closure Library files to the output folder.

It is an extension of the Apache Flex 'Falcon' Compiler. 

Bug Fixes
---------
-FLEX-34224 An option to specifiy the output folder is missing

Known Issues
_____________

Unimplemented Compiler Features

The FlexJS SDK does not support embedding of assets or fonts and the compiler may
not handle embedding correctly and may even throw errors.

Flex SDK is not supported.

The FalconJX cross-compiler only supports compilation against a FlexJS SDK, not the Apache Flex SDK.

Command-line Usage

The FalconJX cross-compiler supports multiple output types.  They are specified to mxmlc and compc scripts and batch files via the options -js-output-type.  Only -js-output-type=FLEXJS is supported.
