decrease windows dependency by changing from bcrypt to bcrypt-nodejs #121

Open AdrianScott opened 11 years ago

AdrianScott commented 11 years ago

Hi,

bcrypt usage on Windows currently requires extensive installation of windows SDK, requiring gigabytes of downloads etc.

The newly-released bcrypt-nodejs offers an alternative without this requirement, while using essentially the same API.

In these commits, I propose a change bcrypt -> bcrypt-nodejs to support windows dev/deployment without ms visual studio / windows sdk dependency.

Thank you for considering this suggestion.
