npm can already install and update packages and versions of packages, a logical extension would for it to be able to install and update node itself as a package, similar to [creationix/nvm](https://github.com/creationix/nvm).

When a new version of node is available, updating would be able to be done by 'npm update node' similar to how packages are updated.
