Finally started on the uploader

Hi Mike,

(I'm cc'ing fluid-work on this, since it's an interesting question and worth sharing with the community)

I think we should automatically detect browsers that support HTML 5 and deliver them the awesome version. For browsers that don't support the File API and XHR Level 2 (primarily IE 6), we'll fall back to the Flash version and give them a manual control to degrade even further to a plain single-file Upload.

We should implement this using feature detection so that as new browsers are introduced they will automatically be supported.

Hope this helps,

Colin
