Checkpointing first progress towards intial milestone
Addapted Gemfile for EC2 Linux.  Fixed Migration errors.  Modified form view for Firefox compatibility.
Incremental progress to crossword editor form features
Incremental progress towards the UI milestone.  At this stage, the lack of navigability from JQuery wrappers to cellStatus objects is the root cause of functional bugs in the implementation.  The next corrective action is to graft the cellStatus object state onto the DOM objects it presently wraps.  Shifting from intensional semantics to extensional semantics will resolve the problem of visible navigation deficiency.  This checkin also contains a head start towards refactoring the isUnavailable() method to benefit from heuristic optimizations its present implementation lacks.

Incremental improvements to cell navigation.  Added a facility for coloring squares which are too close to filled squares to be populated and defined a 'debug' style sheet for more verbose output than most users would like.  As it stands, the existing style sheet is probably still too verbose.  <P>  Discovered a bug that prevent backspace from being able to clear cells from the far right hand column--its related to the inability of the cursor to advance in this state. <P> Fixed a bug in 'word head' repositioning that inverted a toLeft navigation step and caused NPE. <P> TODO: Follow up on an observation -- I think the first word selection may not get a border frame, and the on-click border expansion is not entirel accurate still.
