Yes, that's something I'm working on.

I currently believe that all the information *inside* the
FontAlignZones tag is ignored
by Flash, and that it only switches on Saffron's automatic detection
of align zones.
The fact that Flash CS4 doesn't fill in these tags anymore either
further fuels that theory.

If you want to compile the git version, you'll need to download xpdf manually.
Afterwards, go to "lib/pdf", and run "perl inject-xpdf.pl xpdf-3.02.tar.gz".
I'm aware, this should probably be done automatically.
