- Changes
  1.Support dual protocols: hybi-00(for iOS) and RFC-6455(Chrome, Firefox etc.)
    by specifying --with-websocket or --with-websocket=ALL
  2.Automatic base64 {en, de}code on hybi-00 spec by specifying "bin" type in websocket.conf.
    ( my answer of nori0428#19 )
    A more detailed description has been described in the INSTALL.

- Roadmaps for near future
  I'll delete IETF-00 option when iOS supports RFC-6455 specs.
