Description
Hey, just want to say this project looks sweet from the demos and I really hope I can get it working for me. I ran into an issue when trying this library on my own codebase and was able to reproduce in the example 01 demo app too.
At the top of [MyComponent.js](https://github.com/Kureev/browserify-react-live/blob/778041de556447005c334775c86f1a5f42ce3df8/examples/01%20-%20Basic/components/MyComponent.js) I added the line `var $ = require('jquery');` and then npm installed jquery and ran the app with `npm start`. It starts up fine, watchify is able to find jquery and bundle the app. But now when I make a change in that same file, the patch fails with an error (attached screenshot of chrome dev console).

Any idea how to fix this?

Research direction
Start with examples/01 - Basic/components/MyComponent.js and reproduce the failure by requiring jquery, installing it, running npm start, then editing the same file. Inspect the Chrome console error and the live-update path; done means edits to a file with an npm dependency apply successfully without the patch failing.
