Menu items have one accessible action named "select". In gail, menu items have on action named "click". Should FF mimick what's already done in gail?

On mac, we'd use the "Pick" action (http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/ApplicationKit/Protocols/NSAccessibility_Protocol/Reference/Reference.html#//apple_ref/doc/c_ref/NSAccessibilityPickAction)

Not that this matters in XP code... I guess I'll just have to translate the pick frorm the user into a click in our XP code.

We might need to create an nsActionMap.h for each platform, so that the appropriate action name is used in each place.

On Windows the naming doesn't matter yet, so we could just imitate what Linux does.

There is no thing like "AtkAction" enum... This patch will change "select" to "click". Should we collect all the action names and map them?
