Allow makeMicrosite be run in the background

[jvican]

Running ~makeMicrosite always recompiles the site (ending up in an infinite cycle), instead of waiting for a new written update in the docs. I would like ~makeMicrosite to behave the same way ~compile does, the task is only executed if I have modified a markdown or resource file.

FWIW tut doesn't implement this because the docs depend on code so a change in your source could in principle trigger a partial doc rebuild. I have not tried to figure out how to do this because I hate sbt, but it should be possible.

I would be happy if the watchSources for makeMicrosite include also the code. I want it not to be run infinitely.

It seems excluding the generated jekyll resources from watchSources works, for example:

// Include *.md, *.img, *.css, etc. under doc folder
watchSources := (sourceDirectory.value ** "*").filter(!_.isDirectory).get,

Currently watchSources contain the files under target/resource_managed/jekyll so while sbt-microsoft generating files, the time stamps of these files are updated and triggers makeMicrosite task again.
