Comment:

 In 41752.patch:
 - Refactor `swfupload.js` to output a simple upload form.
 - Delete the SWFUpload plugins directory and swfupload.swf.
 - Remove flash cookies "hack".

 The patch attempts to trigger the "no flash available" mode. If it doesn't
 exist, it outputs a simple form with a `<input type="file" />` field and a
 submit button. Seems to be working properly in WordPress 3.2 (last version
 we used SWFUpload) but will need more testing in the affected plugins:
