Introduced RKMakeURL and RKMakeURLPath convenience methods for generating NSURL and NSString URL's quickly against the sharedClient's base URL. This can be useful if you have some web content in your app that loads off of sub-paths and want the convenience & flexibility of working off of resourcePath's instead of full URL's.
