sanitize the name of the metric sent to timing() and increment()...

... with the rules used in librato's official statsd backend:
https://github.com/librato/statsd-librato-backend/blob/dffece631fcdc4c94b2bff1f7526486aa5bfbab9/lib/librato.js#L146
. This should help avoid a number of scenarios where the client sends a
bad request (due to a bad metric name) and the service is forced to 400.

Also: hard-code the coffeescript version that is expected, because only
a very specific version will not cause diffs across the codebase when
the js files are built.

I believe this should fix #6 .

Also, I created a Makefile locally that might be nicer than using npm (or maybe not if you like npm that much):

build:
    ./node_modules/.bin/coffee -c -o lib src

test: build
    ./node_modules/.bin/mocha

( just make test to run tests, or make build to just compile ).

this looks good... did you close it on accident or do you have something different coming?

[cainus]

Yeah I must've closed it by accident. Duh :) I've been using this patch in production, and it works pretty well, so I think it's good to merge unless you have objections.
