 This was originally reported by @kadamwhite over on
 [https://github.com/koop/develop/pull/4 github] for the temp install.  His
 quote is:

 "Calling loadNpmTasks for each Grunt plugin installed is duplicative, so
 Tyler Kellen created a matchdep package to allow Grunt to piggyback on the
 list of Grunt plugins saved in package.json. Using this module reduces
 boilerplate and makes it more obvious the package.json is the canonical
 list of installed plugins. Tyler's a Grunt team member and Ben's endorsed
 the syntax, so it's an officially-sanctioned approach.

 @aaronjorbin alerted me to this syntax, and it's been a huge help wherever
 I use Grunt. My devil's advocate response to this PR would be concern
 about adding yet another external module dependency vs using the more-
 verbose-but-honestly-what-are-ten-lines-among-friends Grunt-native syntax,
 but I think the clarity could be helpful."
