[FEATURE] Allow for npm linking to local prefix #533
Description
What I would like to be able to do is to install the bins defined in the package.json to the local prefix.
npm install . does not do that (related: #526).
Installing these bins seems to be usually done via npm link. npm link symlinks these bins to {prefix}/bin/{name}, where {prefix} is the global prefix. Should we add an option like --local, to change this to the local prefix?
Also see #532 (npm-link: clarify usage of global prefix)
