IE8 compat

[caridy]

In the past, this polyfill worked fine with IE8. Currently, we are getting two issues in IE reported by travis, as a result, we get tons of failures during the CI process. Here are two examples of the two different issues:

--FAILED-- intl402/NumberFormat/11.4_a.html { browserName: 'internet explorer', version: '8', platform: 'Windows 7', prerun: 'http://localhost:8000/tests/ie8fix.bat' } 'IntlPolyfill' is undefined
--FAILED-- intl402/NumberFormat/6.3.1_a.html { browserName: 'internet explorer', version: '8', platform: 'Windows 7', prerun: 'http://localhost:8000/tests/ie8fix.bat' } Object doesn't support this property or method

Those files are generated in tests/test262/pages/intl402/, example: tests/test262/pages/intl402/NumberFormat/11.4_a.html

More details about the failures here: https://travis-ci.org/andyearnshaw/Intl.js

I have a problem in Safari 8 It's not happen all the time. Just few refresh and below error shows up

"Can't find variable: IntlPolyfill"

@chaintan17 certainly not related to this issue, which is about IE8. I wonder how are you loading the polyfill? could this be a race condition in the way you load it? Please, feel free to open a new issue.

Oh, it's racing condition, yes. Thanks for your info @caridy

I'll try and get some time to look into this soon. In the past, I've used SauceLabs to manually run the test to figure out what's going on, so I'll maybe do the same. I think we might have an IE 8 machine around work somewhere too so I can give that a try.
