BobsUI work well in 3.6 with a few patches.

After I read this mails I decided to cleanup BobsUI for 3.7, I:

- remove Morphic Wrappers
- fix some problems with tabs
- use 'World doOneCycle' instead of 'Display doOneCycleMorphic' so 
UIPromter works
- add a UIFrameMorph to be used when a window have a null name
- split the source in two: one for run-time and one for development

Now BobsUI load in 3.7 and some tests work, but I have problems with 
the change Accuny font vs. New York font, the UITextMorph>>currentFont: 
fails with an invalid subscript.

I am trying to fix this bug but I can send the sources if anyone wants 
to test/fix this problem.
