as of gnash, it's still developed upstream, but no official release
except for git snapshot.

i wonder if it's still worthed to be kept in our repo as it doesn't
really support newer flash formats and it has being phased out since
2013 in Chrome
(http://blog.chromium.org/2013/09/saying-goodbye-to-our-old-friend-npapi.html)
and by the end of 2016 by Mozilla
