proposed patch for 0.5 to disable Console on IE	none

Description Grant Gayed

GCLI's util.js causes Console creation to fail on IE as result of invoking "range.createContextualFragment(html)", which is not supported in IE9.  According to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ie/hh772133%28v=vs.85%29.aspx it appears that createContextualFragment() will become supported in a subsequent IE release.

We'll need to shim this -- also see https://github.com/mozilla/gcli/issues/56
