specify how this works in readme.md

Hi all

Checking this library out - trying to figure out how it works - it looks like it doesn't use NODE_PATH (that wouldn't really be possible given the nature of this), so how does it work?

I probably won't use it unless I know how it works, will try to poke around some more to figure it out

This module works by monkey-patching the internal require('module').Module._nodeModulePaths method to prepend additional directories:

app-module-path-node/lib/index.js

Lines 7 to 17 in 97fc609

	Module._nodeModulePaths = function(from) {
	var paths = old_nodeModulePaths.call(this, from);
	// Only include the app module path for top-level modules
	// that were not installed:
	if (from.indexOf('node_modules') === -1) {
	paths = paths.concat(appModulePaths);
	}
	return paths;
	};

You may want to consider using the more recent require-self-ref module as an alternative. Both app-module-path and require-self-ref work, but I find require-self-ref to be cleaner. require-self-ref monkey patches the internal require('module').Module. _resolveFilename method.

I don't have time to update the README at the moment, but hopefully that helps clarify.
