  Description     : Efficent NPM replacement

PNPM is a disk-efficent replacement for the NPM command. It
prevents duplication of package files across projects by hard
linking files to a content-addressed store.  It is a great solution
for developers with limited hard-drive space, or a large number of
projects.

While I would love to package this myself, I do not work with
JavaScript regularally (in part due to ecosystem problems like
NPM's love of duplication).  As such, I am filing this as an RFP,
as opposed to an ITP.
