shout when exiftool is not found #17

Open kapouer opened 7 years ago

This could be a warning upon require (not really useful to shout at install time).

Node: 8.9.1, MacOS, just trying the example in the readme, get this error:

events.js:183 throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event ^

Error: spawn exiftool ENOENT at _errnoException (util.js:1024:11) at Process.ChildProcess._handle.onexit (internal/child_process.js:190:19) at onErrorNT (internal/child_process.js:372:16) at _combinedTickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:138:11) at process._tickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:180:9) at Function.Module.runMain (module.js:678:11) at startup (bootstrap_node.js:187:16) at bootstrap_node.js:608:3

Come to think about it, there are now exiftool-vendored.pl and exiftool-vendored.exe available on npm. Even better, the dependency on streat could be replaced by exiftool-vendored.js if it handled piping a readable stream to exiftool as streat do.
