Purpose of module is to be placeholder for oddities and everyday changes in node.js API.
Atm implementes OS and node version safe directory separator and exports existsSync() that changed locations from path to fs between node.js versions 0.6 -> 0.8. Usage:
var helper = require('helper'); helper.existsSync(..); console.log(__dirname + helper.sep);
Using helper this way you don't have to think what OS you are using and what version of node you are using. existsSync() is same as path.existsSync/fs.existsSync.
Idea is to gather this kind of stuff that can help app developers. Patches are welcome!
