node-based tools for makefile and watchr

Created by: konsumer

I would like to see the whole toolchain using node-based tools, rather than Makefile + watchr (ruby). It would keep installation simpler, and unify the languages needed to develop bootstrap (only javascript.)

Here is a build script I made for a require.js based micro-framework. I think similar ideas could be used for bootstrap. Adding a node_watchr-based target would take care of the watchr stuff.

Because you can distribute the dependencies in node-modules dir, you effectively get your dependency list down to just node.

I'd be willing to write the build system that has all the same targets as the Makefile, if people are interested in this.
