-----------------------------------------

Awesome work Garren!!

I've got this running locally and its working pretty well. Couple things I 
wanted to bring up.

1) When I change a file, the watch tasks errors on rebuilding the template 
with: "Verifying property template.server exists in config...ERROR." This is 
due to calling "template:server" rather than template, which you already fixed 
in the COUCHDB-1712 branch in 
https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=couchdb.git;a=commitdiff;h=b19cd925.

2) Rebuilding the full require.js file. I would still really like to see us 
avoid rebuilding the entire bundled JS file on every file change. The bbb 
server task did a fair bit of work to make this functional so that every js 
file was loaded asynchronously. I don't see this as a blocker as overall its 
far better to have a working server task than to not have one at all.

3) Use of express.js. This framework pulls in a substantial amount of 
dependencies, and while the final bundled fauxton app doesn't care what local 
deps you have installed, if possible we should keep those deps small. Do we 
need express.js? is there a lightweight alternative?


Overall I don't see any of these issues as blockers, and I'm very happy to see 
a working server task. Thanks Garren!!
