Please consider the simple change in my repo.

I never noticed this but http://www.learningclojure.com/2010/09/clojure-swank-server-is-insecure-by.html mentioned that clojure-swank has a dangerous default.

…al argument which is the hostname to bind to.

The swank command used to bind to '0.0.0.0' by default, i.e. was open
to the world which is a dangerous default.  The default has now been
changed to 'localhost' which is safer.  The command now takes a second
optional argument which is the hostname to bind to -- pass '0.0.0.0'
to get the old behaviour.
