wt: Simple dir watcher, including all subdirectories, support events and multi dirs:

* `all`: every change event
* `file`: file change event, not include file remove
* `dir`: dir change event, not include dir remove
* `remove`: file or dir remove event

## Install

```bash
$ npm install wt
```

## Usage

```js
var wt = require('wt');

var watcher = wt.watch(['/home/foouser/data1', '/home/foouser/data2']);
watcher.on('all', function (info) {

}).on('file', function (info) {

}).on('dir', function (info) {

});

setTimeout(function () {
watcher.close();
}, 10000);
```

## Other Events

- `on('error', function (err) {})`: watcher error event, e.g.: watching not exists dir
- `on('watch', function (dir) {})`: a new dir watcher start
- `on('unwatch', function (dir) {})`: watching dir removed, will emit this event

## Known issues

- Remove a sub dir, all files in the remove dir won't fire `remove` event.
Only fire `remove` event on the sub dir once.
