I think that has changed now with 1.0. Every install is into the current 
directory now.

I think you'll find it is pretty close to bundler now. Though the 
documentation is still lacking.

One really nice thing I like is if you're working on a project, you put 
your dependencies into the "package.json" in your project directory, and 
then just type "npm install" and it pulls in those dependencies 
automatically and makes them available to that project (and only that 
project).

Matt.
