Hey List,

I'm happy to announce the latest release of dispatch. What's notable about
this release is that it includes out-of-the-box js_of_ocaml support.
Specifically, it allows you to easily set up front-end applications to use
the URI fragment to track state transitions and history. For example:

let fragment_thread =
  Dispatch_js.dispatch_on_fragment ~default:"/" [
      ("/"         , root_handler)
  ; ("/user/:id/", user_handler)
  ]

... creates a thread that will monitor for URI fragment changes and
dispatch to the appropriate handler. In addition, it will set the initial
fragment to "/" and ensure that the handler for that path is initially
called; even if the fragment was already set to "/" when the thread
started, dispatch will still occur.

Due to the API changes included in this release, webmachine[0]'s version
has been bumped to 0.2.1. You can find both the new version of dispatch and
webmachine on OPAM.

As always, issues and pull requests welcomed.
