We should display an error message like:

Too many files open, run `ulimit -n 9999`

when we get an EMFILE exception. Also add a command line option to auto increase the ulimit. I think this should default to true or a high number and be opt out rather than opt in. Having it at all even if it is opt in is still a win.
