The compilerserver is a small HTTP server which simply serves html.

But it has also the compiler built in and can supervise a directory:
when the directory changes, it recompiles the project in it and can send a
notification to the browser when it did so. The browser can also request a
recompile.

Check the hotreload sample project for how to use it.

My plan is to also add the REST bridge to it, so it can be used as a 
1-stop-backend server for pas2js development.
