Binary installation should be default? #55

Just IMHO.

I guess people use install-binary more frequently than install. So binary installation should be easier, isn't it? (Anyway I often use installation from source.)

Such as...

$ nodebrew install v4.4.1 # to download compiled binary
$ nodebrew install --source v4.4.1 # to compile from source code

Yes, I know this will be breaking change...but nodebrew is still early version v0.x.

It is a good suggestion.

In the meantime, you can do something like this in your bash startup files.

alias nbrew='nodebrew install-binary'

Then install with:

$ nbrew stable
