Better "npm install" using global cache and symlinking.

Lavish downloads a flat package structure then uses symlinking for all dependencies. After you download a package once or twice, it will symlink instantly from there on out. This allows you to download less files and save time installing packages.

Note: In early stages, may or may not be usable.

npm install -g lavish

Using the CLI directly:

lavish <...packages>

Using the CLI shim on npm:

alias npm=lavish-shim

npm install <...packages>

Should be 100% compatible with npm install. Open an issue if you find incompatibility.
