Blank /repl/start page looks like it's broken #40

"Awesome. A ClojureScript REPL in my browser. Too bad it's completely blank, so it must not be working."

It took me a while to realize /repl/start serves only as an engine for cemerick.piggieback/cljs-repl or cljs.repl/repl. Maybe this could be made more obvious, with either:

1) Text on the page that indicate that it's loaded successfully

2) A longer message REPL ready: "Browser-REPL ready @ http://localhost:44048/7599/repl/start - expect this to be blank"

That's a really good idea; I'd say both are reasonable.

Patch welcome.
