Add pretty html5 history support to Backbone
#
# Replaces Backbone.History with support for HTML5 history API if browser supports it.
# To use, setup your controllers as usual and try it with a browser that supports the HTML5 history API.
# For browsers that don't support the HTML5 API, this will fall back to using the default Backbone hash routing.
#
# I have only tested this on my project in Firefox, Safari and Chrome so let me know.
#
pushSupport = window.history? and window.history.pushState?
if pushSupport and Backbone? and Backbone.History?
