Otherwise, writing an empty string causes the whole program to grind to
a halt when piping data into http messages.
This wasn't as much of a problem (though it WAS a bug) in 0.8 and
before, because our hyperactive 'drain' behavior would mean that some
*previous* write() would probably have a pending drain event, and cause
things to start moving again.

Change the http.Client API so that it provides a single request() method
taking an optional parameter to specify the HTTP method (defaulting to
"GET"), instead of the five methods get(), head(), post(), del() and put().
include() should not be used by libraries because it will pollute the global
namespace. To discourage this behavior and bring Node more in-line with
the current CommonJS module system, include() is removed.
Small scripts like unit tests often times do want to pollute the global
namespace for ease. To avoid the boiler plate code of
var x = require("/x.js");
var foo = x.foo;
var bar = x.bar;
The function node.mixin() is stolen from jQuery's jQuery.extend. So that it
can be written:
node.mixin(require("/x.js"));
