Done (0.14.25), maybe improved later (very slow for now and miss 
submodules). I also updated nodepath to find typescript declarations:

# package without types and/or index.d.ts
$ nodepath -t lodash
/usr/share/nodejs/@types/lodash

# package with "types"
$ nodepath -t chalk
/usr/share/nodejs/chalk

# package without "types" but an index.d.ts
$ nodepath -t fastq
/usr/share/nodejs/fastq

# builtin module
$ nodepath -t fs
/usr/share/nodejs/@types/node
$ nodepath -t assert
/usr/share/nodejs/@types/node

# Package without types
$ nodepath -t grunt-webpack
Not found

# Force global search for builtin module that exists separately
$ nodepath -t -B assert
Not found
