File: Makefile line 16
By shtylman:

Yea, I was wishy washy on it as well. I picked this because technically the make file isn't needed (you can do it with just npm install and test scripts), but then again more people are probly familiar with makefiles than npm syntax. The more I think about it, I am also probly in favor of doing the opposite. One thing to note with doing it this way is if the package has installed the test framework locally then npm will be able to run that locally, however if you install locally (nodeunit) and then just try to run it like it was in your path, that will not work. So I can see benefits either way :/
