FSEvents is an API only available on OS X:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FSEvents

It is understandable therefore that the fsevents npm module which provides a 
node interface to that OS API cannot be built on systems other than OS X, and 
that other software that wants to use fsevents on OS X would have planned for 
that contingency and provided an alternate implementation for other systems. In 
the case of karma, it appears to have been handled by making fsevents an 
optional dependency.
