[Building Sakai] Drag and drop folder upload

[John Bush]

I don't see anything wrong with functionality working in one browser
as long as there is another way to do the same activity in all
browsers, and it doesn't break anything in another browser.

If we wait for everyone to support everything, we will always be
innovating at a slow pace.  In fact, pushing the envelope a little is
a good way to encourage other browsers to pick up the pace, or
encourage people to switch using browsers that innovate at slower
paces.

In fact the drag and drop feature already requires IE 10+.  So I don't
believe Sakai 10 is really following the mantra of it has to support
all major browsers.
