Add compability with flask 0.8 In flask version 0.10 (current stable version) the behaviour changed. With this version it is possible to specify the server and port via the config variable SERVER_NAME. To allow this behaviour also with flask 0.8 which is the version shipped with Debian Wheezy this commit extracts the host and port from the SERVER_NAME config variable.
