Support '--extensions' on Windows

[heycalmdown]

The option "--extensions" is useful when touching .jade-like file types which doesn't need to restart to apply it. But it didn't work on Windows.

Cool, thanks! This looks good, so I'm going to merge it now, but I want to test it a little bit before I publish a new version on npm, and it might be a few days before I have time to do that.

Looking at this a second time, I'm less certain. I ran into problems, detailed in #34, when trying to use watch on too many files. If that's a problem on Windows too, I don't want to saddle people with outright breakage to get this feature in.

There's a syntax error too, so I'm gonna roll this back for the moment since I want to get a 0.8 release out.

I'm now looking at #60 and the author is implementing ignores by using the filename passed to the callback (while still calling watch just once on the whole directory). I'll probably merge that PR soon, so it seems like you could plug on top of his code for a more stable solution.

Also, I'd love it if you could test that ignore feature and let me know if it works on Windows.

Ok, let me know which version would contain the patch #60

[iangreenleaf]

0.4.1 is out now and includes that patch.

0.4.1 doesn't work of watching modifications at all.
I'll dig it later.

does watch work on windows yet with specified extensions? I don't see it working for me.

[iangreenleaf]

Nope, sorry. @heycalmdown improved Windows file watching in #70, so this feature could be revisited, perhaps with greater success.
