Finalized support for Phidget Stepper

2.1.3.20080402
Fixed windows BUG - Device Type was showing up wrong
CPhidgetStepper_getPosition -> CPhidgetStepper_getCurrentPosition

added:
CPhidgetStepper_getMaxMotorSpeed
CPhidgetStepper_setMotorOn

Added new functions to Flash API
Added new functions to Webservice Protocol
Added new functions to COM Library
Added new functions to Java Library
All device fiels in C library cleaned up and made consistent
Open in windows is exclusive - this needs to be tested for stability
No data will be returned / accepted if it lies outside of max/min range
if a data value is unknown, user variable is set to PUNK_INT, PUNK_DBL, or PUNK_BOOL, and return value is EPHIDGET_UNKNOWNVAL
Proper Device initializations on Attach:
triggers are set to defaults on attach
device state is read in and preserved on attach
during attach event, all sensor data, etc. is provided if available
no data events until after the attach event returns
everything initialized by the time waitForAttachment returns
after attach event returns, a full set of initial state data events are thrown
.NET collections are readonly, and never NULL (but empty when phidget detached)
.NET callbacks no longer catch and hide all exceptions
make sure to use try/catch blocks especially in Attach when accessing properties that may not be initialized.
