Vagrant on windows has issues creating symlinks, especially from within
npm install. It's possible to use npm install --no-bin-links, but then
things are not included in node_modules/.bin.

This change explicitly references the right scripts inside the less and
babel-cli modules.

Verified that compilation still worked.

  1. Well, I went and double-checked what NODE_PATH will resolve to against the directory structure on my RB install, and it's setting these variables to the proper location. Looks okay on that front!

    But if we no longer need symlinks in /.bin, and some installations won't be able to create symlinks in /.bin, does that mean that we should deprecate the /.bin directory entirely? There's a lot more scripts in there than the two that we're pointing to by hand, I think. (babel-doctor, babel-external-helpers, and babel-node. - other babel stuff.) Will we see problems with those?

    1. I'm not sure what you mean by "deprecate the /.bin directory". This is a directory which is created by npm, and whether it's there or not, we will no longer need to care.

    2. I meant "stop making it, if we're in charge of making it." But since it was created by npm, ceasing to care about it is enough.
