IE10 can't create WebWorkers from blob:-URLs

[Sebmaster]

IE10 throws a SecurityError when trying to instantiate a Worker from a blob URL.

According to this (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10343913/how-to-create-a-web-worker-from-a-string) SO question, you have to use a wrapper script which basically calls eval on the input string.

Even though the pull request in #13 fixes the behaviour for now, it might be worth thinking about providing an extra eval.js-Worker to allow WebWorkers in IE10.

What's your stance on that @adambom, shall I have a go at that too, or close this one for now?

[adambom]

I don't always use eval, but when I do it's because IE forces me to.

I think we need to do this. I want to try and support all the browser quirks, if possible. I think it's useful to have a library that normalizes web workers across all the browsers. We may discover that this exposes security flaws, but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

IE10 support is especially important, I think, because it's the emerging standard for building Metro desktop apps. Developers are going to need a clean and easy to use framework for multi-core processing.

Okay then, since this requires me to work in the RemoteRef constructor again, are there any changes you want to have in #11 or #13, or are they merge-ready?

[adambom]

Ready to go. They're merged in.

For now fixed by e063e2e.

Getting WebWorkers to work in IE10: #16.
