Install fails in restricted network environment (proxied npm registry)

[lukateake]

Cannot install gavel (as a dependency of dredd) because the jsonlint dependency:
https://github.com/apiaryio/gavel.js/blob/master/package.json#L33

Please see this NPM post on how to ameliorate this issue:

It’s usually a good idea to open an issue on the project with the Git dependency, politely asking the maintainers to replace the Git dependency, if possible. Generally, we discourage using Git dependencies in package.json, and it’s typically only used temporarily while a maintainer waits for an upstream fix to be applied and published.

@lukateake Thanks for raising this issue. I didn't realise this can be a problem for someone. Just for the record, the dependency isn't taken from npm due to following issues:

• Accept pull requests? zaach/jsonlint#56
• zaach/jsonlint@master...josdejong:master

I'm open to any suggestions on how to solve this, as well as accepting contributions (replacing the jsonlint library with something else, etc.).

Unfortunately, the attempt to replace jsonlint with parse-json was unsuccessful: #85 (comment) Alternative suggestions are welcome.

I contacted @josdejong and kindly asked him to publish the fork as a package.

This has been just fixed by #109! 👏 All praise goes to @abacaphiliac
