Add option for compilers flag or explicitly state how to specify this in the docs

[jxm262]

Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this, but can we add something for the mocha --compiler flag? I tried looking through the source and couldn't easily figure out how to explicitly set this option. However, when I just do add a require('mycompiler') at the top of my gulpfile, it somehow magically runs during the mocha task. I see the readme explains how to do this for coffeescript, but I have my own compiler which I use for jsx to js transormations (reactjs).

For example, running from the command line mocha --compilers .:my_compiler.js test/**/*.js

Mocha doesn't support programmatic set of compiler, so you can do something like babel/register or coffescript/register

Just require it manually in your gulpfile.js. Mocha doesn't have this as a programmatic option because it's super easy to just do it yourself.

You can pass compilers options as per this stackoverflow answer.
