Refactor for node v0.8

[AvianFlu]

Refactor forever to take advantage of the new child process APIs. This is already in progress, and backwards compatibility with node 0.6.x will be maintained.

OK - Node v0.8 is out... status?

Are you removing node-fork as dependency, which currently causes the installation to fail?

[AvianFlu]

This refactor is being worked on presently. The node-fork error can be removed with npm install --force, but forever@0.9.2 behaves strangely on node 0.8.0. There will be a branch available for public testing of the upcoming release starting later today or tomorrow.

node 0.8.0 includes several awesome new features for child processes, and it's a much better use of development resources to refactor the project to take advantage of these, rather than, say, to port daemon.node to the modern age.

The node-0.8 branch is now passing its tests, but needs user testing:

git clone https://github.com/nodejitsu/forever
cd forever
git checkout node-0.8
sudo npm link .

Please test!

OK - testing and working well so far. However I am seeing this message:

path.existsSync is now called fs.existsSync.

So somewhere it is using a deprecated call.

Follow the bug - watch the movie. ;)

forever@0.10.0 is now published and only works on node@0.8.x
