Add Windows & OSX Builds

[DaAwesomeP]

Node-Webkit supports these platforms just fine and it would be awesome if you could link to precompiled binaries of git-watcher.

Also, when you make releases on GitHub, you can attach files with them. This way precompiled downloads for every platform can be hosted on GitHub and tagged with each release.

I don't use Windows and I don't even own a Mac. I need help to support those platforms.
I would also like to create a .deb package, but I don't have a clue.

I would be happy to help with the Windows builds. Node-Webkit should work fine if this; I have used it before. I don't think that I would be able to help with the creation of the DEB package, but I can test it on Debian wheezy and Ubuntu.

First off, building gets a lot easier with grunt-node-webkit-builder or node-webkit-builder. They create Mac .app, Windows .exe, and Linux executables in both 32-bit and 64-bit. They also automatically download Node-webkit for the build. I used it in a project once before, but it has been a while and I don't remember much. Look in the releases for build examples.

So you can *.pkg, *.deb, *.exe build at CI, it's much easy

Sory but I don't get it. Can I even build it for Windows & Mac on Ubuntu? I
thought you must compile it running on the same platform :/

The great part about most of the open source compilers (like node-webkit) is that they can compile binaries for other operating systems from a different operating system. I _highly_ recommend using grunt-node-webkit-builder or node-webkit-builder. They automate the entire process for you.

OSX 10.6 also officially runs in Virtualbox, but costs money. However, you can get the Windows 7 trial (30 days) as many times as you want in Virtualbox. However, I would be more than happy to test everything on Windows.
