Some of you reported issues with mousewheel in IE with latest jQuery.

Investigations revealed two separate problems (well, maybe they are interconnected on some level):

1. In jQuery 1.7 IE fires its own `"wheel"` event on mousewheel (1.6 didn't do this). Unfortunately this event misses the `distance` handler parameter altogether. This causes Reel's internal `"wheel"` handler to be double fired and fail. To resolve this, `"wheel"` handler calls missing the `distance` parameter will be ignored by the handler.
2. The [mousewheel](/brandonaaron/jquery-mousewheel) plug-in version 3.0.2 Reel uses for examples, tests and in the bundle also happens to be incompatible with jQuery 1.7. Brandon got this is resolved in latest version 3.0.6, so upgrade will be necessary for this fix (both in distribution and also on the CDN)
