Make 'node-proxy' an optionalDependency

That way users can decide whether to stick to parentheses, start their app with the right V8 flags, or require it themselves.

This would also facilitate use on certain platforms that offer the standard modules of node.js but are not actually powered by V8.

+1. Plus, requiring node-proxy breaks the build for those using browserify.

I've actually got this in place on a somewhat-unstable "upcoming" branch (npm install git://github.com/natevw/fermata.git#upcoming or use …fermata.git#<current_hash> for stability) if you want to give it a shot. (The main instability on that branch would be around the new streaming response type and how it will be exposed.)

It's tempting to move it even further to something like peerDependencies [although I think that's something different?] or just document it as an optional "install it yourself" — I'm guessing it won't be long before v8 provides Proxy object itself by default (if not already in io.js) and due to its still pending in-browser status I find I don't really use the dot syntax anyway so it's just extra time spent building every deploy…
