My thoughts on writing tiny reusable modules that each do just one
thing. These notes were adapted from an email I recently sent.

If some component is reusable enough to be a module then the
maintenance gains are really worth the overhead of making a new
project with separate tests and docs. Splitting out a reusable
component might take 5 or 10 minutes to set up all the package
overhead but it's much easier to test and document a piece that is

# Prerequisites:
sudo apt-get install g++ make libssl-dev git-core pkg-config

# pkg-config: is needed so that configure will be able to verify that openssl is 
#     installed.
# curl: is handy, but not needed for node.js to work.

# Install into user-specific local bin:
mkdir ~/local
echo 'export PATH=$HOME/local/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc
