How to evaluate environment variables set by when-changed #97

Hi,

I'm trying to look at the exported envvars mentioned in when-changed docs. However they're always undefined even when adding a call to 'env' as command to when-changed.

How may one properly access those? (from bash/zsh)

Thanks David

`Environment variables:

WHEN_CHANGED_EVENT: reflects the current event type that occurs. Could be either: file_created, file_modified, file_moved, file_deleted
WHEN_CHANGED_FILE: provides the full path of the file that has generated the event. `

figured it out... I was using v0.3.0 from pip install... had to replace whenchanged.py with latest from GitHub and voila envvars work as expected :-)
