We have one poor soul who stubbornly refuses to give up windows, so the
symlink trick won't work for us. So we do this:
in the node_modules folder of module a, we put a file named:
module_b.js
it contains this line:
module.exports = require('../../path/to/module_b')
We use the same trick for any utility libs that are shared project wide but
are not in npm.
It allows us to to say everywhere
var ourUtils = require('ourUtils')
instead of
var ourUtils = require('../../brittle/path/to/ourUtils')
in all files but the one redirector.
I used to think this was a big old hack, but after living with it for a
while we like it just fine, even on windows. :)
