Package resolution algorithm doesn't work properly (nvm)

[maybephilipp]

In the beginning I want to say that I love your module and thank you for that!

The problem:

In case of nvm, node resolve function will resolve node's root node_modules if they're located not on top of the tree.

I've investigated your source code - it's just going up through parent dirs and checks for file existence, but nvm's global modules are located at $HOME/.nvm/versions/node/{version}/lib/node_modules.

So global modules or links are not found all the times.

Possible solutions:

• Add an option to set additional search path (as require.resolve does)
• Support node's root directory somehow (it's returned by npm root -g, so maybe there's a way to get it programmically).

Thank you:)
