qt-darwin Causing Issues on Windows

[devmattrick]

Hi there!

When running the install script for qt-darwin, which is a dependency of brig, it errors due to being unable to extract the files using tar. I believe this could be remedied by making qt-darwin an optional dependency to only install on MacOS systems. Here is the npm output:

$ npm install brig

qt-darwin module should be installed only for Mac OS:
https://github.com/BrigJS/brig/blob/master/setup.js

I think it has problem because there is incorrect dependencies settings in package.json

Let me check it.

By some reason qt-darwin is being downloaded on GNU/Linux too...
