Selector Architecture Harmonization

Since Selectors use most of the Higgins Components, work on harmonizing the Higgins selectors into a single architecture would be a huge step towards overall Higgins architecture harmonization/convergence.
A good first step in converging the selectors is start by harmonizing the GTK and Cocoa Selector and the Adobe AIR Selector.

Notes
- Introduce the notion of a "package" -- a service that can be implemented by different component(s) for different deployment environments
- This architecture would run on Windows, Mac OSX, Linux and (with further work) potentially smart phones
- This architecture should support IE, Firefox and Safari browsers
- The "Selector UI" component would be either GTK, Cocoa or AIR-based, but the underlying services would be common.
