Improving Windows Support

[mattdesl]

Just tried on Windows and wow, I feel sorry for anybody developing on that OS. 😢

• Disable web security by default for index.html to work on first run
• Source maps are not working
• All tests are failing because cross-spawn stdout is for some reason returning a zero length string (although it prints in terminal). Switching to child_process#spawn is throwing another error.
• Can't use any piping like devtool foo.js > output.png with default cmd.exe
• Can't use ./bin/index.js to run the examples in run scripts

Probably lots of other issues. But mostly the tool is working for debugging Node apps, which is a good start. 👍

Can you create a new issue with some more details on how to reproduce the issue? Thanks!

Tried latest version on Windows. It is a bit unstable and slow and I can't use sourcemap unfortunately. Any known workaround for the sourcemap?

[Darmikon]

It would be a perfect tool in case you fix sourcemaps. At the moment source maps don't work for me on windows 10. I see only compiled code when run devtool -r babel-register ./es6-code. Please fix it if it's possible. And thanks a lot for your amazing work.
