How to build for different environments using shake-build?
Is there a built-in way to pass command-line arguments to a "shakefile"? I'd like to pass --env production|development|staging and then use it within my rules to (slightly) alter the build-steps for each environment.

I am using Shake with an npm based project, but am baffled by how to handle the node_modules folder. The flow should be simple from what I can tell:
