Research direction

Start by reproducing npm install hiredis on Windows with the reported Node.js v3.0.0 and npm v2.13.3 versions, then inspect the generated npm-debug.log. Trace the MODULE_NOT_FOUND, invalid configuration warnings, and PEM error to determine the affected installation path; done means the optional dependency installs without these errors.
