Sixth alpha release of Gnash (0.8.3).

    * Added an option in Preferences to initially display a movie
      as a blank ("Click here to start") screen.

    * Fix support for OpenOffice Impress SWF exporter (malformed..)

Less visible to users:
    * Garbage Collector usage reduced where appropriate.
    * Mouse.hide and implemented in GTK.
    * ActionScript inheritance fixes:

        o implements / instanceof works correctly now

    * Fixes to Date class (platform consistent).

      not tested yet), and initial implementation of npgnash.dll exists.
    * Sprite handling improved, fixing FlowPlayer and other video SWFs.
    * TextField handling:
          o Fix in device font handling (DefineFontInfo tag)
          o Fix support for DefineFont2 tag (sizes)

      AMF3 support.
