    This is a simple WebView running as a websocket client.  Here are notes:

    - To test, run a local socket server (ie, socket.io).  Socket.io example chat app: http://socket.io/get-started/chat/
    - Pass the websocket URL into io.connect() method
    - Event callbacks are registered on Ti.App.. app should fire 'app:ws:connected'. Observe console.log: "Websocket is connected"
    - For securty purposes, use inline HTML (string below) to compile into bytecode, rather than filesystem / HTML resources.
    - The final webview has to be painted to the screen to instantiate Webkit.  Simply 1x1 pixel with offset positiong. Webview becomes a processor.
