Firebase NPM doesn't expose the token generator dependency

There are some ways to fix this:

  1. Remove dependency and let users install it manually as needed, the token generator isn't really a hard dependency of Firebase anyway
  2. Expose the dependency from the firebase module:
    var Firebase = require('firebase')
        FirebaseTokenGenerator = Firebase.TokenGenerator
$ mkdir firebase-npm-test
$ cd firebase-npm-test
$ npm install firebase
npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/firebase
npm http 304 https://registry.npmjs.org/firebase
npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/firebase-token-generator
npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/faye-websocket
npm http 304 https://registry.npmjs.org/faye-websocket
npm http 304 https://registry.npmjs.org/firebase-token-generator

$ node
