Installation error with nan 1.5+

When installing fs-ext with npm, the compilation step fails with the following errors:

Locking nan to 1.4.1 works around the problem: https://github.com/timmclean/node-fs-ext/commit/f527f55dfac20c931cbfb3cbd6170ba3d1881d08

I'm on Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS, using Node.js v0.10.33.

Thanks! Tim
