shapeshift.io api for node.js (unofficial)

What is shapeshift.io?

ShapeShift is an instant exchange for Litecoin, Bitcoin, Peercoin, Dogecoin, Darkcoin, and other cryptocoins. As a new service, it is the fastest way to trade between these digital currencies. An exchange between coins on ShapeShift takes only a few seconds, and no account is needed.

The benefit of this is that you could have a web site where a payout to a content provider is paid out in a different currency than what the consumer paid with. For example, Joe wants to be paid in Bitcoin, while Sally wants to pay in Litecoin.
