Yeah, ReadStream can't do it without re-opening the file, because you
need seek() to be able to get rid of the EOF flag, and Node doesn't
implement seek() (partly because of the integer problem with getting
up to 64 bits, but that's a bit of a cop-out since createReadStream
can take start/end params, so why was it ok there?). The "tail"
module
on npm just re-opens the file if the size changes using
fs.watchFile().
Probably easier (and faster) to open a childprocess to tail -f, since
opening and closing a file all those times has an overhead.

Yeah.. I was thinking about tail.. :) just 2 "questions".
- Does Windows have any tail-like tool ?
- Are binary files a problem to tail in any way?
