Alright -- this is fixed with the latest commit. I've enhanced the --no-wrap option to not emit "var" declarations at the top level. If you don't want the safety wrapper, then you probably intend to make them global in any case.

bin/cs now works like a charm. I might pull it back into the main bin/coffee-script executable. Start a REPL if run without arguments ... --run for executing CoffeeScripts via Narwhal... something like that.

On second thought, ideally these should be different options. When used in a module we add our own function wrapper but still want the "var"s. In the REPL we don't want the "var"s (making the safety wrapper useless, but harmless)
