Shrinkwrap doesn't allow install of node-incompatible modules

[strk]

I'm using a module which has a "package.json" file stating the module won't work with node-0.8, but I've tested it and I know it works fine.

Unfortunately, listing the module in the npm-shrinkwrap.json file isn't enough to convince npm install to install it.

Is this intentional ?

No, I think that's a bug. engines conflicts should just warn now, not error.

great, looking forward for next npm version ! :)
