One line installer for h5bp/node-build-script

Fancy one line install (Unix / Windows on Cygwin)

What it does

1. Check that node exists and is in your $PATH

2. Uninstall previously installed version (if any)

3. Global Install the npm package from dev (to be changed, master) branch.

4. Once installed, display the help output

5. Followed by the init template, creating a brand new project with the correct grunt setup, based on the answers to a few question.

Gotchas

If you have problem with npm saying:

npm ERR! Move it away, and try again.

Try running npm cache clean and try again.

If you are some behind some kind of proxy and have the script pending following this:

Fetching https://github.com/h5bp/html5-boilerplate/tarball/master
This might take a few moment

Try setting up your $http_proxy environment variable to your proxyurl, and try again.
