Recursive directory watching for Windows and OSX is landing in node master: nodejs/node#2649

This enables watching a folder recursively on Windows (was already available on OS X). Under the covers this is a change in libuv (which abstracts away the OS) and uses the ‘watchSubtree’ option on the Win32 ReadDirectoryChanges function – so it should be highly reliable. (libuv change viewable here).
