Forget about SwfUpload, I found out that it has unsolved problems with firefox 
on linux, so not a way I will follow any longer. There are other Upload 
controllers, which can upload files via a POST request, but not integrated 
with a more complex form.

I'll look at this later on, may be extending one of those solutions.

Model, ok.

As you changed the code, you better put the latest code into the repo ;-)

I'm willing to help with tests, but am not (yet) familiar with that 
module::install environment, so this may you can take care of that.
