Dashboard widgets coming to Linux. Again.

UPDATE:  Code is now available from git on the new StormOS server.

I was bored Saturday morning so I decided to check up on Jackfield to see how its development was coming along. Turns out it hasn't changed much since I last checked it out 4 years ago. Since there was a huge list of comments on the original authors (Stuart Langridge) blog from people mourning the death of the Jackfield project I decided to resurrect the project.

I quick list of what I've done so far:

• Migrated everything over to WebKit instead of Embeded Moz
• Added support for synchronous Dashboard APIs (async already implemented)
• Added support for moving widgets around the screen (yay!)
• Started implementing the fancy new Apple Button classes (see how the Youtube info button is different to the rest -- its using the newer API)
• Now runs uninstalled without hacking the source
