Re: Pengine url

Yes, that's a nice addition. But maybe we should consider keeping the
event handlers separate, by grouping them like this?:

var pengine = new Pengine({
    handlers: {
        oncreate: handleCreate,
        onsuccess: handleSuccess,
        onfailure: handleFailure,
        onstop, handleStop
        },
    server: 'http://mygame.org',
    src: ...
});

What do you think?

Cheers,
Torbjörn
