[General] More Progress

I fixed both of these last night and committed the changes.  Turned out all the hairline errors in Canvas mode went away when I coerced the damage rectangles to integer coordinates.  The simple objects world just needed some attention to code rot.

It is sooo nice to have things running solidly in Webkit and Safari 4 (thanks, Phil).  The engine turns about 120 rpm (30 frames/sec) with five cylinders now, in both SVG and Canvas.  It all runs in Firefox and Minefield too, but suffers right now from the considerably slower JavaScript.

It would be really nice if one of you workers or lurkers (or maybe a shirker) could dig in a bit and figure out the problem with Google Chrome.  I don't have access to a machine on which to debug this effectively, but it looks very superficial to me.

With that and a bit of documentation and organization, we can package it all up as an official release.
