nwjs-edge-example (Edge spawned via separate Node process)

An example using NW.js and Edge that involves spawning the Edge related code in a separate Node process and then interfacing with NW.js via Socket.IO. This will allow Edge to be built for regular Node and take away the complexity of building it for NW.js.
