…hich watches for changes on the input file(s)/dir(s), and performs reprecompilation on changes to them, I used the 'chokidar' package for watching files and dirs, and the 'color' package for outputing nice looking messages to the console.

If you don't want the ES6 stuff, tell me to replace them. |
Replaced optimist with yargs. My bad!.

I personally feel a bit controversial about this request. "chokidar" adds another 2MB to the total size of Handlebars. I have a few projects that use Handlebars and I am constantly trying to reduce the size of those projects. But, this is my opinion only. There may be different ones. |

This should probably be handled with npm-watch, since it can restart the process, which is particularly useful if the current process is not yet complete. |

I made another pr and changed it from two commits into one, and made the commit msg nicer, can you guys please copy-paste your comments there? |

Watch option for the handlebars CLI.
It watches for changes on the input file(s) / dir(s), and performs reprecompilation on changes to them.
I used the 'chokidar' package for watching files and folders, and the 'color' package for outputing nice looking messages to the console.
