npm 3: install fails on Windows with node 0.10

[mantoni]

Installing anything on a Windows workstation fails with Error: EACCES, access '{project-dir}'.

The error happens on this line: https://github.com/npm/npm/blob/master/lib/install/check-permissions.js#L77

It works fine when switching to Node 0.12 and it also works on Unix with Node 0.10.
I checked with the Windows cmd and also through cygwin.

@iarna @othiym23 Please advise if there is any temporary hack that we could put in locally to work around the issue.

Yeah, I'm closing this as a dup of #8701. I'm going to start by disabling this check on windows this week and then I'll come back to figuring out how to do this right later on.
