[kepler-dev] recording Ptolemy/Kepler demos

[Ferdinando Villa]

I've just tried out vnc2swf and it seems to work great. Took 5 minutes
to set up and install, and it works on most systems, recording from most
systems. Being vnc-based the display may be a bit sluggish. The issue is
mostly whether we can live with (or translate) flash animations.
