npm install fail for windows user

Of course it can be fixed by installing visual studio components, but have only pur JS dependency could be a good thing for such a project.

Thanks for the report, I'll take a look at this and see what can be done.

[1000i100]

I could suggest :

• spectacular-core : bdd minimal usable package (spectacular.js + spectacular.css files and there src with minimal dependency)
• spectacular-server : server part with file change monitor, live-test-runner...
• other module if need.
• specular : meta package with no content or module integration content and dependent to nothing but other specular-* packages.

If i find some time, i'm planning to make a specular-lite fork that include only the specular-core feature, and with externalized string to generate localized test report. (French report for my comfort)
