demo("gist") fails with 0.2 because stringr is not loaded / str_c can't be found

Maybe this is fixed already in github but sadly I'm limited to what is available on CRAN.

> library(httr)
> demo("gist")


    demo(gist)
    ---- ~~~~

Type  <Return>   to start : 

> gists_r <- GET("http://gist.github.com/api/v1/json/gists/hadley")

> gists <- content(gists_r)$gists
Loading required package: XML

> str(gists)
 NULL

> gist_r <- GET(str_c("http://gist.github.com/api/v1/json/", gists[[1]]$repo))
Error in xor(is.null(url), is.null(handle)) : 
  could not find function "str_c"

Seems like this could be fixed if the demo loaded stringr first (str_c is there).

Also, after loading stringr and running the demo again, I see:

> library(stringr)
> demo("gist", package="httr")


    demo(gist)
    ---- ~~~~

Type  <Return>   to start : 

> gists_r <- GET("http://gist.github.com/api/v1/json/gists/hadley")

> gists <- content(gists_r)$gists

> str(gists)
 NULL

> gist_r <- GET(str_c("http://gist.github.com/api/v1/json/", gists[[1]]$repo))

> gist <- content(gist_r)

> library(whisker)

> # url <- "http://gist.github.com/raw/{{gist_id}}/{{filename}}"
> gists
NULL

I'm assuming the output of gists and str(gists) is not meant to be NULL.

Fixed in the dev version (unfortunately by deleting this demo because I now have no idea what I was thinking at the time)
