installation error on windows
a bunch of postinstall scripts seem to currently fail for me, using node v 5.5.0 and npm v 3.3.12 on Windows.
npm ERR! node v5.5.0
npm ERR! npm v3.3.12
npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE
npm ERR! [email protected] postinstall: `npm install --prefix ./nw-screenshot`

npm ERR! Failed at the [email protected] postinstall script 'npm install --prefix ./nw-screenshot'.
npm ERR! Make sure you have the latest version of node.js and npm installed.
npm ERR! If you do, this is most likely a problem with the node-webkit-screenshot package,

npm ERR! Tell the author that this fails on your system:
npm ERR! npm install --prefix ./nw-screenshot
npm ERR! You can get their info via:
npm ERR! npm owner ls node-webkit-screenshot

I will add that the first error occurs multiple times, and the module appears to be attempting to install http://dl.node-webkit.org/v0.11.6/node-webkit-v0.11.6-win-x64.zip repeatedly. I saw it attempt install 4 times before exiting with status -4058
if this is probably on my end, lmk. Thanks for this module!
it appears that the "postinstall": "npm install --prefix ./nw-screenshot", is getting heavily tripped up by the latest npm version. This might be related to npm3's nodeterministic approach to install that is a change from npm 2.
the script does not see a node modules where it is expected and keeps traveling up the folders and reinstalling over and over. That's how it looks at least.
To be clear... The script will install, recursively forever and ever. take a look:

I am experiencing a similar issue in another module that is similar to yours, FYI: https://github.com/davidmarkclements/nw-shot/issues/3
