[Laszlo-dev] For Review: Change 20081112-ptw-E Summary: Add a simple evaluator to the swf8/9 debugger

[André Bargull]

While testing, I've noticed you must not have leading or trailing 
whitespace in the expression, or the "SimpleExprPattern" will fail to 
match against the string. For instance in "canvas.subviews ".

Otherwise approved.
