[Sparkle] no release notes - webkit callbacks in modal situations

[Bob Stuller]

Folks, Greetings!

I'm really sorry that I am initiating my subscription with a problem.   
But I've poked at this problem from a bunch of different angles.   
What's worse, I'm going to ask folks to give me a pass for wanting to  
use a modal anything.  Write me off-list if you want to hear my lame  
excuses.

The presenting problem is Sparkle's updateAlert, when presented as a  
sheet in a modal window, has the releaseNotesSpinner running forever.   
Turns out that the release notes view is Webkit & it stalls in the  
modal situation.  One of the first things that I tried was to factor  
out the loadReleaseNotes code & spawn off a thread for it.  Trouble  
is, loadRequest is asynchronous & the callback doesn't get hit.

I've tried adding NSDefaultRunLoopMode at various place in various  
ways but no love.

Any clues?

Peace,
Bob
