Better local require() paths for Node.js

Problem

When the directory structure of your Node.js application (not library!) has some depth, you end up with a lot of annoying relative paths in your require calls like:

const Article = require('../../../../app/models/article');

Those suck for maintenance and they're ugly.

	#! /usr/bin/env bash

	###
	#
	# install_mysql.sh
	#
	# This script assumes your Vagrantfile has been configured to map the root of
	# your application to /vagrant and that your web root is the "public" folder
	# (Laravel standard). Standard and error output is sent to
	# /vagrant/vm_build.log during provisioning.

	var casper = require("casper").create({
	//loadImages: false,
	//logLevel: 'debug',
	verbose: true
	});
	var utils = require('utils');


	/* ----- test parameters ----- */

	require 'generator'

	samples = [
	{ :xs => [ 1.0, 0.25], :y => 0.98},
	{ :xs => [ 1.0, 0.49], :y => 0.82},
	{ :xs => [ 1.0, 0.60], :y => 0.41},
	{ :xs => [ 1.0, 0.89], :y => 0.31}
	]

	# line is the sum of the dot product of the weight (thetas)

	#!/bin/bash
	for i in $(git branch \| grep "OFR-"); do
	xml="`wget -qO- http://jira.office.vertive.com/si/jira.issueviews:issue-xml/$i/$i.xml`"
	closed=`echo $xml \| grep ">Closed</status"`
	strlen=${#closed}
	if [ ! $strlen == "0" ]
	then
	echo "Deleting $i"
	git branch -D $i
	fi

	; This is a very basic intro to Seesaw, a Clojure UI toolkit. It covers
	; Seesaw's basic features and philosophy, but only scratches the surface
	; of what's available. It only assumes knowledge of Clojure. No Swing or
	; Java experience is needed.

	# Description: Simple demo to showcase Redis PubSub with EventMachine
	#
	# Update 7 Oct 2010:
	# - This example does not appear to work with Chrome >=6.0. Apparently,
	# the WebSocket protocol implementation in the cramp gem does not work
	# well with Chrome's (newer) WebSocket implementation.
	#
	# Requirements:
	# - rubygems: eventmachine, thin, cramp, sinatra, yajl-ruby
