Prosody 0.9.4 was released, attached is a patch against SVN that

- bumps the version
- adds an OPTION for luajit
- removes the shebang hack and passes the correct value to configure instead

Another unrelated patch supports a configuration that sets daemonize to false (that is, prosody stays in the foreground) in the rc script.
daemonize = false is a requirement for the libevent / kqueue backend according to upstream:
