A live command, like the cake in CoffeeScript

[othelarian]

Origin of the PR

This PR is more like a fun addition to LiveScript. I always wonder why an equivalent to the CoffeeScript cake command doesn't exist un LiveScript, with a Livefile file at the package's root. So I did it.

What it does

I added scripts/build-live to compile the bin-src/live.ls script into bin/live, and also a Livefile as an example of what is possible.

It works like this:

• option [name], [alias], [type], [description] => like in a Cakefile but with type, to make it work with optionator
• task [name], [description], [callback] => also like in a Cakefile, the exact same syntax

Also, I added a new target in the makefile, live: bin/live, to run the script that compile bin-src/live.ls into bin/live.

Can we use this in place of Gulp?

Can we use this in place of Gulp?

Completely, it is what I do for all my project, but in CoffeeScript. I also use bach, which is a lib gulp uses to create the pipeline under the hood. If you want the gulp pipelines you just have to add bach and vinyl.
