Check for binary in ./node_modules/.bin/ first #50

When you want to have a clean package, you must put dev tool list and version in devDependencies in your package.json, for example : 

  "devDependencies": {
    "gulp": "^3.8.8",
    "bower": "^1.8.0"
  }

However, node-which which is used to check if the binary is present doesn't check in this folder since ./node_modules/.bin/ is unlikely to be in your path.

A workaround is to run with a prefixed export like this : 

PATH=$PATH:./node_modules/.bin/ ./node_modules/.bin/gulp

But I think it would be a better solution to check in .node_modules/.bin/
