Move from referencing the BlueCloth constant directly, to referencing…

… Markdown.

This supports alternative implementations of markdown such as rpeg-markdown or rdiscount, and later releases of bluecloth.  There are some performance issues with earlier releases of bluecloth, and you should probably upgrade.  In the event that you can't you can place the following code into an initializer:

  Markdown = BlueCloth
