npm does this but unfortunately these's no cross-platform sure-fire way to do it. I believe npm has specific things it does to open the url in a web browser for each platform (on osx it invokes `open`, on linux `x-www-browser`, etc.)
It may be a good idea for someone to extract that logic into a standalone module...
