sometimes when running "npm install" on a machine which has already had npm 
before, there will be an install failure.    various errors appear.   the 
modules don't all get installed.    you might refer to this as an "upgrade" 
process, because the version of node might be new, also.

many times, removing the .npm and the .node-gyp folders will fix it.

we are getting to the point now, where we'd like "npm install" to be fairly 
automated, and not require manual intervention.     In light of the above 
comments, the questions are:

- should I script the removal of .npm and .node-gyp folders every single 
time?
- are .npm and .node-gyp folders always located in the same place in the 
filesystem?
- shouldn't "npm install" have a flag, or built in functionality, to fix 
these errors by itself, without my intervention?
