Preview of Resolution Independent Control library for RevMobile

[Chipp Walters]

FYI, for those interested...

I don't lock scripts and anyone can use this in their commercial projects
free of charge. IOW, this is a professional library which you can edit and
use however you like (just don't try and sell it please!)
