Watch mode #31

Not sayin' this necessarily needs to be built into extendscriptr, but even examples of a watch workflow would be helpful.

Hi @andyinabox Over at basil.js we are using the watch module. Works good for us. 

# install it as dev dependency
npm install watch -D
# run it in a terminal session
# anytime you save your src/helloWorld.js
it will be extendscriptred (is that a word yet? ;-))
./node_modules/.bin/watch ./node_modules/.bin/extendscriptr --script src/helloWorld.js --output dist/helloWord.js

I'll keep this issue open until I (or somebody else) adds something useful about it to the readme

how can this be dynamic? watch looks for changes in the whole src folder, but the command provided in readme is fixed to a specific file.

if you have multiple scripts in src folder how can this be configured to compile each file when a change occurs?

Hm. This wont work with the current state of extendsciptr. It would mean to do changes on the module. Would be nice to have. I'll add this as a new issue and feature request.
