Optionally include version of dependencies in output #21

Hey cool project, very useful for getting a quick boilerplate README up with some useful information. Would be nice to have version information on dependencies as well.

@bitstrider Can you spec this out more? When would you want your dependency information included in the readme of a project? Sounds like you're describing the functionality of the npmhub Chrome Extension.

We tried adding version numbers to npmhub, but eventually removed them because they don't add much value. If people want to see detailed version info about dependencies, package.json is not far away.

@dawsbot I was thinking in general it would be good to have the versions, but @zeke makes a good point
