RevMobile: Native controls

[Chipp Walters]

Hi Monte,

Landscape should work just fine-- it's the rotation which can possibly
cause problems. One way to do this is with 2 stacks. Another way to do it
is with a large square stack and different cards. The library has the
ability to render objects on all cards at startup, or using a preOpenCard
handler-- this way if you have a lot of cards and/or controls on cards, you
can defer the scaling to as needed.

I'll post the beta version of the plugin and framework today and you can
try it out.
