node-webkit compile error

Impacts node-webkit 0.10.5 and 0.11.5 with latest nan@1.5.0 (https://travis-ci.org/mapbox/node-sqlite3/builds/47189404)

Looks like it is because of the old uv upgrade where they removed the status argument. Doing a typecast to uv_async_cb is the best solution. nodejs/nan#97

Thank you @kkoopa - I replicated the compile error on OS X as well and confirmed that a typecast fixes it (only reinterpret_cast was allowed by compiler, not static_cast). So, created a pull at nodejs/nan#239

Closing as this relates to an old version of node-sqlite3 and should be irrelevant with Node-API 🙂
