Hey all,

I'm wondering why `npm link` installs modules in the global node path?
Before I bothered reading the man page I was doing this:

    $ npm link ../base

in a project that depends on base. I was just expecting a symlink to the
base package in ./node_modules but instead I get a link to a link in the
global node path.

The problem with this is that for developers who have installed node via
package managers or somewhere under /usr they now need root access to do
an `npm link`. Would a -g option to `npm link` make sense instead of
being global by default?

Cheers,
Phil Jackson
