  Bug Parade 0.7 release

  Very simple test for IE and Flash 9 defaulting to standard http upload. Doesn't feel that we need anything more flexible or slick considering the temporary-ness of this fix.

  Here's a trivial variant on Eli's FLUID-2073.a.patch. This is entirely cosmetic; I have verified that both patches work as expected.

  This patch removes the !<, which is the same as >. It removes on unneeded set of brackets. Two comments are added for clarity. The FlashMajorVersion variable was renamed flashVersion to use consistent casing and reflect the same variable name used in the SWFUploadSetupDecorator.

  It's all stylistic, and super-trivial. Great patch from Eli.

  Committed the FLUID-2073.b.patch. Looks good. Thanks for the tweaks!

  Should have mentioned explicitly what this fix does.

  In all supported browsers except IE the Uploader will show up with either Flash 9 or with Flash 10.
  In the IEs, Uploader will only show up with Flash 10.

  Otherwise in all cases, the user will be presented with a standard http file upload form element.

  Verified using:

  IE 6, IE 7 (Win XP , Flash 10 and Flash 9)
  IE 7 (Win Vista, Flash 9)
