One of the important parts is to replace the node_modules by a package
of their own.
I propose to do otherwise, and just include them. When the modules get
packaged on their own, strip them from npm.


BTW, npm upstream is now distributed as part of node.js. Does it make
sense to split it? IMO, it makes more sense to distribute it as
upstream, this should eliminate the incompatibilities we see in the
current npm package with current nodejs.
