Watchr. Node.js file watching that doesn't suck.

Watchr normalises the node.js watching functionality between 0.4's fs.watchFile, and 0.6's fs.watch, and adds support for watching entire directories including their far descendants (some call this recursive directory watching)

Using

JavaScript
```
// Requires
var watchr = require('watchr');

// Watch
watchr.watch(path,function(){
	console.log('something changed inside the directory');
});
```

CoffeeScript

# Requires
watchr = require('watchr')

# Watch
watchr.watch path, ->
	console.log('something changed inside the directory')
