Preview of Resolution Independent Control library for RevMobile

[Scott Rossi]

Looking forward, it seems you're right: being able to lay out a stack at a
specific resolution would be useful long term.  I'm not up to speed on
Android, but last I saw, LiveCode wasn't able to detect Android display
density.  If that's still the case, it would seem to be a problem since how
would you distinguish between a phone with ultra high density and a tablet
with low density?
