View Source needs to be displayed in either plaintext or in HTML, this is required for selection, copy and paste functionality.

nsViewSourceHTML.cpp now emits HTML instead of XML (this can be switched back by undefining the VIEW_SOURCE_HTML macro in both nsViewSourceHTML.cpp and nsLayoutDLF.cpp). Source coloring can be switched back on by #defining VIEW_SOURCE_COLORING in nsViewSource.HTML. It is currently off since that substantially speeds up the display of the source window. It seems that the key bindings for editing operations haven't been turned on for the view source window. Simon offered to do the XUL hackery to get that to work. Passing the bug on to him to make the XUL changes and confirm that copying is now possible out of the view source window.

Fix checked in. The view source window now supports shortcuts for close, copy, select all, and allows dragging.
Fixed in the Sept 9th build.
