Verify node.js version #321

I guess it would be good for beginners if you can verify node.js version before starting up.

Example, i was hitting this exception on my dev machine:

$ tower new app

node.js:201
        throw e; // process.nextTick error, or 'error' event on first tick
              ^
TypeError: Object #<Object> has no method 'existsSync'
    at Object.<anonymous> (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/tower/bin/tower:7:8)
    at Module._compile (module.js:432:26)
    at Object..js (module.js:450:10)
    at Module.load (module.js:351:31)
    at Function._load (module.js:310:12)
    at Array.0 (module.js:470:10)
    at EventEmitter._tickCallback (node.js:192:40)

Due to an old version of node.js. Simply showing, "hey you need at least version X" would be nicer.
