This causes Twitter to reject the request, for some reason.

Changed _start() method of Stream class so now thread can be join'ed.

This reverts commit 4374ec2f.
Until I figure out what's going on with 'delimited=length', I'm going to
leave things as-is.

Not sure why an extra delimiter int is spit out when you disconnect, but this should be enough of a bandaid.

Encode track and follow parameters to UTF8. Blindly calling str() will cause a UnicodeEncodeError as the ascii codec is used.

This commit contains the SSL related changes submitted by @almost in
tweepy/132

I didn't include the delimited changes because this change has not been
merged upstream yet, maybe because the changes are not separate.
