Linux XDG Trash node module about trash

[thethomaseffect]

I've had a look and trash-cli seems crazy stateful so a port to node.js might not be as easy as it could be. However, the unit tests are actually pretty straight forward so for whoever tackles this I'd recommend porting those first and writing enough js to make them pass. Sadly I don't have the time to commit to this but I'd strongly recommend not trying a direct port as classical OO style code in node is just gonna cause heartbreak down the line.

@thethomaseffect You're right. I should have been more clear. It's a lot more sane to just read the spec and implement from that. It's not that complicated. Just some annoying edge-cases with external drives you have to handle. Porting the trash-cli tests for when implementing is a great idea!

I would be happy to guide anyone wanting to implement it :)

Gonna take a look at that, I'm interested in getting started at writing node modules and it seems like a good starting point :)
