[kepler-dev] Export HTML capability

[Christopher Brooks]

BTW - my intention is to move the javascript code into ptII/vendors.
I'm up against a deadline for a meeting on Tuesday, so the move
will not happen until after Tuesday.

I'm not opposed to providing GPL functionality as long as the Ptolemy
core remains free of GPL'd code.  In this context, the Ptolemy core
means the UI and the ptiny domains (SDF, Continuous, etc.).

Ultimately, I think the right thing to do is to provide two repositories,
one for ptII that includes only BSD compatible licensed code and a ptIIvendors
repository that includes non-BSD compatible licensed code.

We're excluding ptolemy/vergil/basic/itextpdf because it "Uses iText.jar from http://itextpdf.com, which is AGPL." (thanks ptolemy-exclusion-reasons.txt!), so the PDF option didn't work. The only problem I noticed offhand was hovering over an RExpression actor didn't show any actor details.
