[nvda] revision 248 - Mozilla Gecko support!

Hi all,
Revision 248 (a part from fixing a few small bugs in internet explorer) adds pretty complete support for Mozilla Gecko engine windows. So, it is now possible to read content, and interact with form fields (excluding edit fields) in both Firefox and Thunderbird (1.5, 2.0 and 3.0 all work, but only bugs in 2.0 and higher will be fixed).
It looks pretty much exactly like internet explorer, just with out support for tracking the cursor in edit fields and editable documents.
Also now when tabbing around Internet Explorer or Mozilla virtualBuffers, the actual text in the virtualBuffer is read, rather than using MSAA to report the focus. This means that if you tab to a link that is inside a list and you were previously not in this list, the list will be reported also.
To revert back to the old way of using MSAA for tabbing, you can set 'reportVirtualPresentationOnFocusChanges' boolean to false in the virtualBuffers section of nvda.ini.
