Title: Made changes for easier ruby 1.8 integration

Hi, I needed to make these changes for a project I'm working on (a rails 3.0.3 project that had some strong gem dependencies that didn't allow me to update rack to version >= 1.4). And the entire project was created for ruby 1.8.7, and upgrading to 1.9+ is not an option at this point--though it is planned for the future when time permits.

I feel that this situation may be somewhat common, and therefore these changes allow Tire to work properly without as many dependency headaches. It's up to you if you want to include these changes, but by making these changes it certainly made my life easier!
