Have a config file, that is accessed by an env variable, that sets common settings like:

enable_spinner=false
background=true
speed=0

these would then get read in at run time

We will need this when we support multiple browsers in 2.0

Suggest this:

IE.set_defaults :speed => :fast, :visible => false

This would make it easy to read in settings, say from a yaml file.

IE.defaults would return a hash of the defaults

Also, deprecate use of $HIDE_IE

Implemented at IE.set_options. Note that this interface is now used as a general interface between Watir::Browser and any implementation.
