transitionPages w/o ajax page loads - Hiding the loader

[JimHapenney]

When not using ajax for page loads (i.e. $.mobile.ajaxEnabled = false),
I find it looks better when the loader is is hidden at the completion of an XHR/ajax data request as opposed to the completion of a page transition.

My fix/suggested change:
Starting at line 3352 in jquery.mobile-1.2.0-rc.1.js (internal to function transitionPages())

        //clear page loader - JimHapenny Edit
        if ($.mobile.ajaxEnabled) {
            // deprecated syntax  - $.mobile.hidePageLoadingMsg();
            $.mobile.loading( 'hide' );
        }

Of course this might cause problems elsewhere, so maybe a global config option instead? Or is there a better way to handle this that I'm not seeing?

Also, shouldn't the non-deprecated syntax be used ($.mobile.loading( 'hide' )) to hide the loader?
