[Windmill-dev] JS error handling

[Adam Christian]

I totally agree, if you look in the IDE options in the latest release,  
I have added a check box to rethrow the errors. I have also defaulted  
the fleegix debugging to true.

If in the future we want a command line option to turn on this  
debugging 'mode' it should be trivial.
