IE7-9 fails

Same as tmeasday/meteor-router#33

Now that Tom has an official release of Router supporting IE8+, I'd like to suggest making a similar change to Mini-Pages.

[ Sorry for not submitting a pull request but I'm a bit slammed atm and this was easier for me :-) ]

This would require two changes:

smart.json:

ORIG

  "packages": {
    "page-js": {}
  }

NEW

  "packages": {
    "page-js-ie-support": {}
  }

README.md:

(markup source here: https://raw.github.com/tmeasday/meteor-router/master/README.md)

Internet explorer 8+ support

If you want the router to work in older version of Internet Explorer that don't support pushState, you can use the HTML5-History-API polyfill:

"packages": {
  "HTML5-History-API": {},
  "mini-pages": {}
}

Please add the HTML5-History-API polyfill...I hit this on Debian w/ IceWeasel surprisingly.

Basically, the symptom is that this.redirect doesn't work because it uses Page.js' history.pushState. When you call mini-pages "this.redirect('/blah')" function, it blows up and doesn't seem to do anything.

Hey guys, I'm back on the grid now. Sorry for lack of response. I'll push a new version today or tomorrow.
