gcc 4.2 on OS X gets confused about the call to node::Buffer::Data(). Fully qualify the function name to help it along. Fixes the following build error: ../../deps/v8/include/v8.h: In function ‘char* node::Buffer::Data(v8::Handle<v8::Value>)’: ../../deps/v8/include/v8.h:900: error: ‘class v8::Data’ is not a function, ../../src/node_buffer.h:38: error: conflict with ‘char* node::Buffer::Data(v8::Handle<v8::Object>)’ ../../src/node_buffer.cc:94: error: in call to ‘Data’
Evented I/O for V8 javascript.
