Draft Uploader Design

[Erin Yu]

I just realized I sent out the original email from my mac.com address  
(which is not authorized by fluid-work), which is why no one  could  
see my original email.... doh!

I've put the original design as well as the one revised in response to  
Daphne and Eli's feedback on the wiki:
http://wiki.fluidproject.org/display/fluid/Multi-File+Uploader+Overview

Eli, I wanted to check with you if is the mouse-over thing possible.
