Could npm shrinkwrap be a solution? The cordova-coho docs mention shrinkwra=
p was avoided previously because it was "not mature", but it has apparently=
 improved a lot in v3. According to a comment [1] in another related issue =
it has solved this problem in v3. I'm not totally familiar with the platfor=
m versioning and packaging strategy though so I may be missing something.

Subject: NPM v3 packaging issues

Hey, guys

We've just ran into issue, caused by NPM v3 flat directory structure. The i=
ssue is that NPM does not pack sub-dependencies of bundled dependencies int=
o resultant archive. This only affects flatten dependency trees, but we alr=
eady switched to that in platform repos.

As an example, we have 'elementtree' dependency in cordova-windows, which d=
epends on 'sax'. After running 'npm install' these dependencies installed a=
s a siblings into 'node_modules', but after running 'npm pack' (in particul=
ar - 'coho create-archive') the resultant .tgz contains ONLY 'elementtree' =
but not 'sax'.

Related NPM issue is https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/8474

AFAIK, the only solution for now is to revert 'node_modules' structure back=
 to tree form.

Best regards, Vladimir
