Update postinstall.js to get at least the npm install working on windows

[tomshaw]

As of Memorial Day I'm getting this error.

npm ERR! sm@0.1.76 postinstall: node ./scripts/postinstall.js npm ERR! cmd "/c" "node ./scripts/postinstall.js" failed with 1 npm ERR! npm ERR! Failed at the sm@0.1.76 postinstall script.

After

npm install -g sm

I get:

npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/sm ... C:\Documents and Settings\LND\Application Data\npm\sm -> C:\Documents and Settings\LND\Application Data\npm\node_modules\sm\bin\sm

I had the same issue under OSX and fixed it with:

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/share/npm/bin

and then re-running:

npm install -g sm
