Making a release + publishing binaries via travis

Typical flow:

git checkout master

# increment version number
vim package.json

git commit package.json -m "0.m.n"
git tag v0.m.n
git push
git push --tags

# empty commit with '[publish binary]' in message
# tells travis to create a new binary for version in package.json
git commit --allow-empty -m "linux [publish binary]"
git push origin master

# switch to travis-osx branch which can build on OS X
# and do the same
git checkout travis-osx
git merge master
git commit --allow-empty -m "darwin [publish binary]"
git push origin travis-osx

# make a sandwich, check travis console for build successes
npm publish
