Should lerna bootstrap install deps individually

[jamiebuilds]

Right now we're just executing npm install in each package directory. However, because of the "linked" dependencies, we have an order of operations issue, either we end up installing over the linked dependencies or we try installing dependencies that do not exist.

A possible solution to this might be manually writing out what we want to install:

{
  "dependencies": {
    "a": "1.0.0",
    "b": "2.0.0"
  }
}

$ npm install a@1.0.0 b@2.0.0

This might fix #59. Also I wonder if this will make npm any faster because we're explicitly asking it for things, probably not, but maybe.

The versions (foo@1.0.0) aren't necessary in this form (npm i foo bar baz...), because npm recognizes they are in the package.json and uses the version range specified there. In other words, if "glob": "^6.0.0" is specified in dependencies, npm i glob will always install glob@^6.0.0.

As for speed, the only gains I can think of would be the omission of the dependencies unique to the local packages, and those are probably minimal at best. Regardless, this sounds like a good way to fix #59. I'll take a crack at it later today.
