TooTallNate/node-gyp — Issue #20: Remove 'use' and 'current' commands, always configure the target in the 'configure' step

This is almost an extension of #19.

I'm thinking that the `configure` step should _always_ be in charge of selecting the version of node to compile against. Currently, if there's already a version installed, and in `use`, then that will be the version used. But it seems bad to have to force the user to change the target version when a new version of node comes out.

So `configure` should _always_ default to the current host version of node, unless a `--target` is specified. This is more like how `node-waf` worked so it's more intuitive, less of a cognitive switch on the users.
