Better local require() paths for Node.js

Problem

When the directory structure of your Node.js application (not library!) has some depth, you end up with a lot of annoying relative paths in your require calls like:

var Article = require('../../../models/article');

Those suck for maintenance and they're ugly.

Possible solutions

mkdir -p /usr/local/etc/nginx/sites-{enabled,available}
cd /usr/local/etc/nginx/sites-enabled
ln -s ../sites-available/default.conf
ln -s ../sites-available/default-ssl.conf

File locations:

• nginx.conf to /usr/local/etc/nginx/
• default.conf and default-ssl.conf to /usr/local/etc/nginx/sites-available
• homebrew.mxcl.nginx.plist to /Library/LaunchDaemons/
