As much as I'd like 20 new nodejs packages, this seems like a good
candidate for bundling.
In short, update winston to the latest, and bundle it's dependencies,
especially it's build dependencies.

I'm not sure what to do about nodejs-prompt.
Except to say that if you hadn't taken over nodejs-winston, it
wouldn't be a happy package anyway.
