I don't think it's at all realistic to stick to the 'one recipe per
component' in node.js world. A typical 'npm install' can pull down
hundreds, or over a thousand dependencies, it's not feasible to have a
recipe for each.

I very much welcome a solution that uses 'npm install' in a way that
preserves offline builds, and integrity/reproducibility of downloads.
License management should be also handled by npm, and if it isn't, then we
need to work with the upstream to address it.
