[Laszlo-dev] Adding a mobile runtime

[Max Carlson]

It's time to add a runtime for mobile devices.  Since Webkit is the 
defacto mobile browser, it seems like we could benefit by stripping all 
the non-Webkit specific code out of the LFC.  I wanted to send out a 
proposal for how we plan to do this to see if anyone has suggestions!

First, Tucker will add a separate 'mobile' LFC build.  This will use the 
existing DHTML LFC build, but will also set a new compile time constant 
($mobile) to true.

Next, I'll take the existing DHTML LFC and add if (! $mobile) {...} 
blocks around the bits of the kernel that don't apply to Webkit 
browsers.  This will take advantage of André's recent (awesome) work to 
improve the compile-time constant evaluator.  Ideally, I wouldn't have 
to do this - the compiler would be able to take a table of 'quirks' set 
for Webkit and automatically drop out the if (quirks.foo) { ... } blocks.

Finally, Henry will remove the 'swf8' radio button on the developer's 
console in favor of a new 'mobile' one.
