[Laszlo-dev] For Review: Change 20081119-hqm-q Summary: more fixes for swf9 <import>

[P T Withington]

Looks ok.

I'm confused about the hack in the data compiler.  I would think that  
either the dataset is already referenced by the program or not; in  
either case, it seems redundant to have to make this 'fake'  
reference.  Can you explain what is really going on?
