Comment(by simonwheatley):

 So... can I push the case for a patch with a light touch, which would
 enable us to use the media upload kit elsewhere? I've extended my test
 code (see amended attached proof of concept plugin) and patched the
 current trunk in as few places as possible to get it working... two
 proposed new filters to be exact (see attached diff).

 The two proposed new filters are:

 '''swfupload_post_params''' - This allows you to add to or alter the post
 fields which SWFUpload posts to the server along with the file. Guessing
 at the future, I'd say this filter would be reusable on the new system
 Nacin mentions '''unless''' we don't end up keeping SWFUpload as the file
 upload provision.

 '''swfupload_success_handler''' - This allows you to filter the name of
 the JS function passed to SWFUpload, which it calls on successful upload.
 Again, if SWFUpload remains a provision for uploading files then I'd argue
 that amending this function name would be necessary in the future system.

 How does that sound?
