"Object.keys called on non-object" error node -v 0.12.4 win32

Getting this on on package.json now, including dependency-check/package.json.

Object.keys(deps).forEach(function (dep) {
^
TypeError: Object.keys called on non-object

So the call to getDeps() is callingback with NULL immediately because file is being passed in as an absolute path:
"c:\Users\Jonathon J. Howey\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\dependency-ch eck\index.js"
This appears to be on purpose though because of path.join on lines 65 and 70 is resulting in paths[] array entries being absolute.

IS_NOT_RELATIVE.test(file) <== returns true.

So the easy workaround is comment it out locally, but I still don't understand the IS_NOT_RELATIVE vs lines 65 and 70. They seem to be conflicting.???

Is it a double NOT(NOT(..)) type of issue?

From the description of the issues it sounds like it would be possible to solve this by replacing the regexp with a module that supports checking Windows paths as well – like: https://github.com/jonschlinkert/is-relative The current one wont detect Windows paths properly.

Would have trouble testing it though as I don't have good access to a Windows machine.

@jonovate If you could try and replace it and test it and make a PR then that would be helpful.
