That's amazing.  I played with it today and noticed that it always
downloads devDependencies.  Why is that...I disabled that because
I think I don't need those?

Also, I found that you prefer going through the repository/github
instead of using the dist tarball.  Why is that?  Some packages do not
have a repository field, such as `http'.  I changed that to prefer using
the dist tarball and use repository as fallback.  You probably want to
change that order?

I made some other small changes, see attached patch, to be able to
download all packages that I need, notably: cjson, http and xmldom.

Thanks again for your amazing work, hoping to have this in master soon.

Greetings,
Jan
