Basic support for modern IE browsers (aka Windows Phone) #91

Basic support for modern IE browsers would make TouchKit compatible with almost all mobile platforms. Although this wouldn't come for free it would be huge advantage for mobile Vaadin apps: write once with java, run in all major mobile platforms.

Mobile IE does already support some cool stuff (WP 7.5):

But ... there are no touch events!! For basic features simulated events might be enough as long as scrolling works to some extent ( it does according to Marc). E.g. latest Symbian browsers don't support touch events but TouchKit apps still work to some extent.

Currently there are some animations and styling that depend on webkit specific styles (or CSS3 stuff that isn't supported by IE yet). For some of these there would need to be javascript based fallbacks and e.g. border-images (not currently supported) should be replaced with 9-boxes or fixed size background graphics. Implementing these shouldn't be "rocket science". IE gets own permutation by GWT compiler so IE specific hacks would be invisible for more advanced browsers.
