package.json and npm support

It would be great to get node.js support for flotr2 and https://github.com/HumbleSoftware/js-imagediff/. Since I've never created an npm package before I'll probably start with the smaller project.

Great. By the way, I'd use "flotr2" npm package together with "browserify" to deploy in a website.

So we've got js-imagediff supporting node now, and I realize it'll be a good deal of work to get flotr2 to the same place. Is it acceptable to have an npm which doesn't support node (politically, socially) ?

I would completely accept Flotr2 first to be an npm package with browser support only. Creating another Makefile target which does not bundle libraries but prepend require(); statements instead, and does not pollute the global scope would be sufficient.

Node engine support by using canvas npm package could be implemented later.

I'd love to graph with Flotr2 inside Node.js and generate PNG or some other Word and PDF-insertable format, perhaps using node-canvas.
