The only issue with this is that a lot of node software uses '#!/usr/bin/env
node' and has to be manually patched ATM.  But, now that other distros have the
same problem perhaps npm could be patched to mangle shebang lines for stuff
that goes in /usr/bin in a general way that's useful to everyone.

I finally got an http-parser that passes all tests into updates-testing the
other day so that should be ready to go.

Sure.  I requested ACLs on libuv too, just in case.

I'll still work on it in the interim.  (Vim has a a similar requirement to the
additional requirement in npm's license so I doubt they'll have an issue with
it.)
