Backwards Compatibility: Minor Change

 Description   

When using the built-in JSON parser, single backslashes are included in the resulting string. This is especially annoying as some JSON libraries escape forward slashed with backslashes. According to JSON spec, "\/" is a valid escape characer (see: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/json/message/249).

For example, the literal string "va\lue" interpreted as "va\lue" but any sane JS interpreter parses it as "value".

I've created a patch on GitHub, which makes the JSON parser behave like other JS interpreters. http://github.com/lautis/mongo-java-driver
