PhoneGapStandardImpl fails in Internet Explorer 8 (IE8)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. PhoneGapStandardImpl fails in Internet Explorer 8 (IE8)

2. at setupReadyHook() when trying to set 'addEventListener'

Of course IE8 is not relevant on mobile devices but I want our app to run as a 
mobile app and on the web too.

I guess I could link GwtPhonegap only for the app, but I want to minimize 
parallel development and for instance use the PhoneGap Plugin API also for the 
web version. 

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

2.0.0.0

Please provide any additional information below.

Workaround. I am linking a clone of PhoneGapStandardImpl for IE8 with the 
following changed setupReadyHook method:

>>
private native void setupReadyHook() /*-{
var that = this;
var f = function() {
that.@com.apsburg.lib.gwt.client.lib.cordova.PhoneGapStandardImplIE8::nativeDevi
ceReady()();
};

if(!$doc.addEventListener) {
$doc.attachEvent("deviceready", new function() {
$entry(f)();
});
} else {
$doc.addEventListener("deviceready", $entry(f), false);
}

}-*/;
