Migration to newer constructors

[donald-pinckney]

With Swift still changing, factor methods are being replaced by constructors. Not sure what timeline is best for this, but at some point code such as:

var x = String.stringWithContentsOfFile(prefix+"../"+filename, encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding, error: nil)

needs to be changed to:

var x = String(contentsOfFile: prefix+"../"+filename, encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding, error: nil)

to continue building (thats necessary as of Xcode 6.1 beta 2)

Donald, just want to mention I think you’re doing a great thing with Swix. There’s a lot of silence out there of people on the fulcrum of doing what you’re doing and I think it’s going to gain serious momentum.

Thanks again for your great lib.

You mean Scott, not I. But yes, I would say the same thing for this library.

Thanks guys! This library was built out of pure need; I wouldn't be surprised if it was needed elsewhere as well.

Oh, and it fully compiles under Xcode 6.1b2 now.
