  Description     : Globbing fs.watch wrapper for Node.js

gaze is a globbing fs.watch wrapper for Node.js built from the best
parts of other fine watch libs.

Features:

 * Option to force stat polling with special file systems such as
   networked
 * Downloaded over 1M times a month
 * Used by Grunt, gulp, Tower and many others

Node.js is an event-based server-side JavaScript engine.

node-gaze (#779301) is required for closure-util (#774562) which in turn
is required for OpenLayers 3 (#774561).

The node-gaze package will be maintained in the JavaScript team.
