### utils.watchDir() function
Watches for changes to the given directory and calls the function provided
when the directory changes. It works by calling watchFile/watchDir for each
file/subdirectory.
#### Parameters
* Dir - the file to watch (can be a file or directory)
* Callback - The callback to invoke when the directory has changed.
The callback takes the changed file as a parameter.
For each change inside the directory the callback will also
be called.
#### Example
```javascript
var utils = require('utils');
utils.watchDir( 'players/_ial', function( dir ) {
console.log( dir + ' has changed');
});
```
