Consider standardjs instead of jshint #10

I've been using the JS standard style in my packages for a while now. It's a no-semicolon style (hah!), but I've found that it brings quite some amount of sanity. If it's good enough for npm it's good enough for me :)

This may just be a matter of personal style, but I just thought I'd ask for your thoughts.

Sorry, I'm not a fan. Semicolons are part of the language, and the only reason they can be skipped in many circumstances was because when the language was being created, Marc Andreessen suggested it should be as forgiving as HTML to help out new users. To my eyes, skipping ; is like misspelling words on purpose to be cool.

I'm using ESLint via XO in npm-check, I'd be happy to add that.

Here's the settings I use, which I should probably move to another module to make it easier to re-use. https://github.com/dylang/npm-check/blob/master/package.json#L7-L19

this isn't part of the discussion but damn, npm-check is pretty cool.

also, +1 on XO which is pretty much standard with semicolons.
