mobile handsets.  Put this port in src/platform/

Here is a first working version. There are a number of rough edges: 

- There is no obvious way to implement the readByte platform call, so it is 
empty, so the sample project is not the IPM. It is a simple programs that 
prints, waits for an event and prints another line. 
- Unfortunately MoSync is IDE centered, so the build is not command line based. 
- The make file only builds the sourcecode, since the MoSync IDE makes the 
actual build. 
- My make skills are not up to the task of convincing the makefile in src/vm/ 
to build for the mosync platform. So a manual step of changing it is in the 
README. 
- Quite a few manual steps are required to create the eclipse project in the 
MoSync IDE, but they should be described correctly in the README. 

But it is a first step, and it does work. 

In the future I hope to wrap at least the most used functions in the "maapi", 
the low level system calls in MoSync. But I think it is already useful, so I 
think it would be good to include it already, so people can try it out and send 
some feedback.

- Unzipped the two files from above, put files in src/platform/mosync
- Edited README to add URL to MoSync and make build steps into a list
- Edited Makefile to add ma.py and ma_gen.py to PM_USR_SOURCES
- Added src/platform/mosync to the svn repos

I'm unable to test this new platform.  No tests performed.
Mainlined directly.

New version. Better example, better ma.h. Improved Makefile, removed one manual 
step from the readme. Removed ma_gen.h from build, it is only there as a 
reference. 

The attached file is a svn diff (created with TortoiseSVN).

Second version of MoSync platform. 
More advanced example.
More functions supported in ma.h. 
Added PLATFORM=mosync in makefile, which removes one manual step from readme 
file. Removed ma_gen.h from build, it is only there as a reference. 

Also, performs heap_gcPushTempRoot and Pop where it needs to be done in native 
functions.
