Test Coverage

Overview: smoketest all 3 major platforms. Alpha 1 did only a partial BFT, so BFT all 3 platforms to get BFTs in better shape for beta testing. Divide BFT into pieces to reduce time required per person, so that the full range of tests is accomplished (which will not necessarily be a single OS). Check mozilla.feedback.thunderbird.prerelease and mozilla.feedback for additional result comments.
