frightening warnings being displayed when detecting locale about os-locale HOT 5 CLOSED

Native thread-sleep not available.
This will result in much slower performance, but it will still work.
You should re-install spawn-sync or upgrade to the lastest version of node if possible.
Check /Users/benjamincoe/bcoe/yargs/node_modules/spawn-sync/error.log for more details

This is coming from spawn-sync which is used by the execFileSync polyfill I use here to make sync exec work on Node 0.10.

Could also just not spawn on Node 0.10 and remove the polyfill. That would make it possible for yargs to use spawning without having to see that message. Or might yargs be fine with just the non-spawning check?

Like we discussed in that other thread, I think a configuration option for turning off spawning would be an ideal solution

Sure, {spawn: false} sgty?

@sindresorhus that sounds great to me, seems like we could just encourage people to make sure LC_ALL is set in their environment to take advantage of translations -- and it would make the Atom people happy to not have yargs spawning.

Also see PR #11.

Added you both to the repo and npm package, since yargs depends on this. To reduce the bus-factor.
