Rails spinoffs - May 2006 - Re-orderable column DataGrid + Patches for Sortable.delay and Sortable.ignorePositionXY

I would love to get some feedback and test a patch to rev. 4380.

First, the money shot - check out this demo of a scriptaculous DataGrid:
http://development.finetooth.com/?p=13

I''m using the <tr> as a sortable with the <th>''s
as the sortable elements.

The Patch file:
http://www.commoner.com/~lsimon/scriptaculous/delay_and_ignorePosition_forSortables.diff

The patch adds two pieces of functionality used in the demo:

1. Sortable- options.delay
   FunctionalTest:
  
http://www.commoner.com/~lsimon/scriptaculous/test/functional/sortable6_test.html

   This allows for a draggable to take a delay paramater to delay the
   "activate" function. It also notifies observers onActivate.

2. Sortable- options.ignorePositionX and options.ignorePositionY
   FunctionalTest:
  
http://www.commoner.com/~lsimon/scriptaculous/test/functional/sortable7_test.html

   With a sortable, we sometimes want to be able to go up and down or
   right to left outside of the containment area of the sortable''s tag.
   To quote someone from the IRC channel explaining the situation before
   this option: ''Sortables don''t change places when the mouse
is not
   above the sortable''s container while dragging". Now they can.
