[Building Sakai] IE8 compatibility

[Matthew Jones]

This was partially captured in some discussions a few times on nabble.
http://www.nabble.com/-Building-Sakai--IE-8-td22607387.html

I believe that easiest the workaround was that if you added a meta tag
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7">

to

portal/portal-render-engine-impl/pack/src/webapp/vm/defaultskin/macros.vm

Then it should fix most of the your site if you're using the default
portal and skin. This should probably be made up as a real patch with
IE8 being officially released, until we can confirm that all of the
tools work. Or just leave it in IE7 compatability mode.
