Consider adding system packages that are available to Node.js functions #17

@lance

Description

@lance

Many existing faas services provide system packages in the execution environment that allow functions to use them without the need for them to be included a package.json. This would definitely make build times faster, since if the function itself has no explicit dependencies, there is no reason to use npm install.

An example: Google Cloud Functions
