gnash::character is used by all except movie_root, but the 
meaning of movie_root itself is not very clear to me.
I think the only reason for movie_root to derive from movie_interface
is that movie_def_impl returns a movie_root from create_instace().
If it returned a movie_instance instead (deriving from sprite_instance,
which is deriving from character) we'd have a movie_root being
only a *single* entity for a *whole* run.

If we can handle to have a *single* movie_root for a *single* play
(not one each externallhy loaded movie) then I think things get
much much cleaner.
