Auto-detect what open-source projects are used by scanning package meta data #64

Would be great if ILoveOpenSource auto-detected the open-source projects you are using by scanning the package meta data dependencies.

Scanning npm's package.json file would mean you would have to do a trip to the package.json file, then to the npm registries copy the package.json file of each dependency, then alluding to the source location of each dependency hopefully.

With component.io's component.json this is much clearer, as the dependencies are actually the github locations.

This is a great idea, but for down the line. Our intention is to grow the userbase a littel bit and make sure the basics work. Then we'll tackle this idea.

I'll leave this issue open. If anyone want to tackle it in the short term, feel free!
