works like, and is a fork of webworkify using windorfer

have en entry.js:

var abre = require('abre')
var myOtherWindowModule = require('./otroModule')
var newWindowReference = abre(myOtherWindowModule, 'someName', ['width=300'])
// make sure you have populs allowed

otroModule.js:

  var gamma = require('gamma')
  var x = 0
  module.exports = function(){
    setInterval(function(){
      console.log(gamma(x++))
    },500)
