jQuery Boids (Plugin)

From the README:

"My first attempt making a jQuery plugin, following the guidelines at: http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Authoring

Boids code adapted from Javascript Boids by Ben Dowling, see: http://www.coderholic.com/javascript-boids/

If this is bound to the window resize event, then the jQuery resize event plugin by "Cowboy" Ben Alman should be used as it throttles the window resize events. See: http://benalman.com/projects/jquery-resize-plugin/"

The plugin uses HTML Canvas to render the Boids, so a modern browser with Canvas support is required for this to work. I tested with Chrome, Safari and Firefox. IE with Excanvas was painfully slow…
