Support for socket.IO 1.0

[mstdokumaci]

npm automatically updates socket.io to version 1.0 now. and this library doesn't support new version, stalls at handshake.

socket.io v1.0 isn't final yet but I'll take a look at this. thanks for the heads up.

when fetching the current version from NPM, I still get the 0.9.16.

ok, v1.0 landed, including some major changes that break the current version of the library.
I don't have the time right now to implement the new protocol ... but maybe someone other than me wants to try ...

I did take a look at v1.0 back in march and started to adjust the library but couldn't finish it - will check in the "work in progress" to a dedicated branch. maybe someone can use this as a starting point.

come august I'll have some spare time at my hands ...

Can we connect socket.io server@v1.0 using master brunch?

I need not to use new features (like binary support), however, socket.io v0.9.16 has problems (like memory leaks)...
SO we would like to upgrade socket.io servers to v1.0.

If you don't have time to support v1.0, I would like to check your work in progress branch.

@yosuke-furukawa no, not even the connection works anymore.
@ALL others please stop +1-ing - I know that this would be great but I don't have the time right now.
keep you updated when this changes ...
