 Installs properly here on Win7.

 However I'm 50/50 on whether this should be running automatically on each
 build. We are up to 46MB! of build tools (node_modules), 7,428 files in
 1,699 directories... The chances for failed updates, platform specific
 bugs, local and platform differences, different output because of
 different version of the build tools, etc. are quite high. Our build
 process shouldn't be "fragile".

 Considering that new images are added to core only a few times per cycle,
 seems this can be a "manual" task, i.e. should be run with `grunt
 imagemin` only when needed.
