====================
Quickly find the latest version of a package in npm.
Why?
----
Sometimes I want to know if a single package needs to be
updated. Also, I'm a package creatin' fool: https://www.npmjs.com/~jprichardson - I need to
know quickly if a package name is taken.
Update 2015-03-29:
Support config registry in ~/.npmrc file，more on registry-url
Installation
------------
npm install -g npm-latest
Example
------
npm-latest express
output:
express:
latest: 3.0.0rc2
