Leaks introduced when running against ARC code

[tiennou]

I think it's because of Foundation being built with ARC enabled. This makes it so that some objects that weren't going through an autorelease pool now do, causing the NSThread to leak those objects.

malloc_history proof :

ALLOC 0x136429270-0x1364292ff [size=144]: thread_115b04000 |-[VDKQueue
watcherThread:] | -[NSObject(NSObject) autorelease] |
_CFAutoreleasePoolAddObject | CFLog | _CFLogvEx |
_CFStringCreateWithFormatAndArgumentsAux | CFStringCreateCopy |
__CFStringCreateImmutableFunnel3 | _CFRuntimeCreateInstance |
malloc_zone_malloc

malloc_zone_free

Yea, you'll want to modify the code to make it Arc-compliant if you use it in that environment.

I'm not a fan of ARC, but I'll try to do this for the repo in the near future.

look at #11 …

@tiennou you can checkout from my repo and then recompile using ARC, that should fix the leaks…
