New optional virtual host (vhost) feature for routes.

[jpap]

A straightforward alternative to the existing subdomain route option.

In the CompoundJS application config/route.coffee file, add the vhost option in the 3rd parameter dictionary:

  exports.routes = (map) ->
    map.get "/apples/:id", "fruit#action", {vhost: ".fruit.com"}
    map.get "/carrots/:id", "vegetable#action", {vhost: "vegetables.com"}

where the vhost value is similar to what you would see in a Nginx server_name directive:

1. Hostnames starting with a period (".") are treated like wildcards. The first example above matches both "fruit.com" and "www.fruit.com"
2. Are otherwise are treated as exact matches. The second example above only matches "vegetables.com".

Brilliant. Thank you!
