Update docs to 1.9+ hash styles

This PR updates the manual and the README to use Ruby 1.9+ hash style. I'd be happy to also run through ```/samples``` for this (and shoes4).

When I converted the JA manual, it revealed that the file was using Windows line endings; going over the commits to that file, I didn't see anything specifically calling out *needing* them, so I converted it over to *NIX.. happy to pick that commit out if this is an issue.
