1. As others mentioned, call the script `server.js` and then have people do:

npm install -g hahnserver
npm start -g hahnserver

(You can also specify a stop script.  For bonus points, run the actual
listening server as a detached child process, pipe stdio to a log
file, and write the pid somewhere.  Have the stop script kill the
child via the pid.)

2. I'd try to have the package include a "generate a new self-signed
key" script, and run that on server startup if it's not already there.
