longpolling on _changes

Hi,

i've implemented long polling
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Push_technology#Long_polling) on
_changes. Instead of continuous, longpolling hold request until an
update is available then close it. The client will have to ask a new
connection. Should solve problem for XHR's that don't have that status
changed (on ie, opera..) .

I've posted patch on Jira :
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-421

Any feedback would be appreciated.
