fsevents compatability warning on windows

[Sidewinder1138]

When I install gulp 4.0 on Windows (npm install --save-dev #4.0) I get an npm warning:

npm WARN optional Skipping failed optional dependency /chokidar/fsevents:
npm WARN notsup Not compatible with your operating system or architecture: fsevents@1.0.14

It's harmless, and gulp is working fine. However, I imagine there's a way to prevent this warning from showing up?

Using:
Windows 10
Node v6.4.0
NPM v3.10.3

There's no way to avoid that. fsevents is a native module that is an optional dependency and only works on OSX.

Ok, my bad I guess this is really an npm issue: npm/npm#11632

No workaround for it? I cannot just switch to MacOS for a gulp module. I am using it as additional dependency in Foundation by Zurb 6.2

Whole workflow has stopped because of this.

@vikcon incorrect, this is a warning for an optional dependency. It means nothing. Your process did not stop for this reason at all.
