package.json postinstall not working on Windows msysgit #28
Description
Note that the postinstall command does not work on msysgit on Windows.
In package.json:
"scripts": {
"postinstall": "./node_modules/.bin/bower install"
}
I get this error during the npm install.
> [email protected] postinstall c:\workspace\AngularJS-Testing-Article
> ./node_modules/.bin/bower install
'.' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

This is because on Windows, the postinstall command is executed as a "DOS" command instead.
Perhaps it'd be good to add a mention of this in the readme file?
