* implemented pre-compilation for templates (eHTML)

   * completed implementation for storing & loading compiled template
files
   * added pre-compilation code for template-parsing task (in ANT
parse.xml)
   * added mechanism for loading pre-compiled templates
   * configuration for enabling/disabling usage of pre-compiled files
   * included up-to-date check (using MD5-checksums) to verify that
compiled templates are up-to-date
 * grammars:
   * added English example grammar (from/used in smart-case example)
   * example Japanese dictionary and (minimal) grammar
 * test page for semantic-interpreter: FIX in language-selection menu
(dropdown box): select currently set language on page-load (before:
first entry in the list was selected)
 * CommonUtils:
   * BUGFIX create instance with new (avoid var-leaking into global
namespace)
   * updated network-checking code (to reflect/use current
Cordova-implementation)
 * ControllerManager: refactored info-object creation (for preparing
controller-/view-loading)
 * BUGFIX load input-manager asynchronously
 * BUGFIX prevent default-click behavior in DEFAULT-BUTTON-HANDLER (see
vclick handling in executeAfterEachPageIsLoaded())
 * cordovaAudioOutput
   * removed some commments
   * BUGFIX for implementation of isPaused() function
   * slightly modified stop() implementation
   * removed unnecessary/obsolete callback-id-list mechanism
   * FIX: remove onCanPlay listener after first invocation
   * FIXED/IMPROVED status-dependent functions (stop() etc);
   * NOTE intialization only works error-free in combinaiton with
modification in Cordova resources so that on-init event for media/audio
is correctly fired in case of async-preparation
   * FIX included private field for audio status in order to avoid
Exceptions in stop() function
 * Cordova (MODIFIACATION for 2.8.1 JAR)
   * added listeners in Audio impl. in order to avoid ERROR output (for
normal/regular behavior) to LogCat
   * BUGFIX in onPreparation() in case of async preparation: only signal
MEDIA_STARTING if the current state is lower (e.g. do nothing if already
playing)
   * FIX for media/audio initialization: in case of async-preparation
now INIT-callback is triggered when prepared-listener is invoked (not
directly when async-preparation is started as before)
 * html5AudioOutput
   * remove console debug output
   * FIX / WORKAROUND for stop/replay: in case audio does not support
timeranges (dependent on server), audio is reloaded, since we cannot
reset currentTime to 0
   * BUGFIX need this-reference for removing listener in audio-object
   * BUGFIX for initialization listener (should only be called once)
 * maryTextToSpeech
   * BUGFIX trigger onEnd-callback in tts-function if cancel-function is
called (i.e. notify ending of TTS)
   * FIX set onEnd-callback to null, after calling (avoiding possible,
multiple calls to same callback)
   * FIX apply encodeURIComponents() to text/sentence before sending to
MARY (instead of just encoding space chars)
 * webkitAudioInput
   * BUGFIX for recognize() implementation
   * BUGFIX need to reset variable aborted, otherwise recognition
assumes abortion on every listener-callback, if abort/cancel has been
invoked once before
   * BUGFIX only restart asr if no speech is detected.
   * BUGFIX for BUG in case of more than one instance running, ASR would
get stuck in an infinite loop
 * Notification
   * BUGFIX for callback triggering (avoid null-pointer exceptions)
   * DISABLED releasing resources on pause (in order to be able to play
notification sounds as long as app is only paused and not exited yet)
     * added & implemented optional parameter isKeepOnPause for creating
notifications sounds (only relevant for ANDROID): if set, sounds are not
released when APP pauses   
   * added initSound() function (for avoiding double-triggering sound
upon first playing, e.g. BEEP feedback after starting/resuming APP)
   * REFACTORED private method for getting audio-object from internal
cache
 * removed language-specific functionality from ConfigurationManager
(set to @deprecated: instead the LanguageManager should be used
directly)
 * modified ANT tasks to use integrated SCXML-JS for compiling dialog-
and input-engine
 * buil-properties/-settings:
   * removed properties in build-setting files and ANT script that were
required for previous solution (i.e. usage of external SCXML-JS)
   * added/extended comments and added example for referencing nodejs in
standard MacOS-environment
