Long path support issues on windows when using npm3
Created by: gertjvr
Description
TL;DR when using npm3 node packages should not include their dependencies. ie shouldn't have a sub node_modules folder. on windows this can cause long path names. longer than what windows can support. npm guidance https://docs.npmjs.com/how-npm-works/npm3
Long story but we use cake build scripts and it doesn't support long files paths on windows. We have had a similar issue recently when phantomjs broken release.
