New Flex 4 Theme and Class Renaming

A few times a day I update my subversion checkout of the Gumbo trunk. Last night I noticed a major overhaul which renamed all the Flex 4 classes, repackaged them into the mx package instead of flex. The new classes are now all (at least temporarily) prefixed with Fx, so if you are trying to compile your previously working Flex 4 code against the up-to-date SDK and suddenly see the following error:
