Fantastic work Jarmo!

This will be big time when we have one command that works across all
platforms.

I tried it on OSX and the gem installs correctly, but when I try to launch
a new browser without specifying a browser it complains (when it should
default to firefox according to your README). Using :firefox works fine. (I
am using watir-webdriver 0.6.1).
