Use gaze instead of fs.watch to implement file watching.

[alecgorge]

Makes file watching more robust and fixes all issues for me. Addresses #87 and #41.

I was having issues with the old watch functionality. This fixes it for me.

It looks like you forgot to add gaze = require 'gaze'

@alecgorge, have you manually tested this and confirmed that your changes work (esp. considering the fact that gaze = require 'gaze' was omitted from this commit)? I merged your branch with ours (and added the require statement) and i'm seeing some strange behavior. We've made changes of our own but I highly doubt they have any affect on this behavior.

I only tested stylus watching because i didn't have time to do any more but when I do have the time I'll be going back through and testing thoroughly to try to understand what is and isn't happening.

My brief experiment with stylus watching involved an assets.js with a rack containing stylusAsset with watch set to true:

...
var assets = new rack.Rack([
  new rack.StylusAsset({
    url: '/somewhere.css',
    filename: '/some/file.styl',
    watch: true
  }),
  ...
])
...

I simply changed the background color of an element and refreshed the page.

Normally the page looks like this:

The change I made to stylus should look like this:

This is what I got:

Also, that same result (third image) happened when I changed the color property (instead of background-color to a completely different element.. so I'm clueless as to what's going on for the time being.

I won't be able to take a good look at this for a few days but I have been using this branch in production for several weeks without issues for some simple stylus stuff.
