Provide method to send a "working on it ..." message back to slack channel #4

Dear Henry, thank you for this great repo. I am using it for my slack bot and it works great. However, I would like to know if there is any way not only to acknowledge with status code 200 that a request was sent to my api processing the command. I would like to provide a message like: "we are working on your request" while I am processing the request until the response from my processing api is finally returned. This can take a couple of minutes. thnx, karim

Hi,

Thanks for using my library. This is a great suggestion and I have implemented it in the latest release v0.2.2.

I give the option to set a global acknowledge_response parameter to the SlashSlack object which can be overridden at the command level with the same parameter at the SlashSlack.command level.

Thanks, and feel free to continue with suggestions.
