When installing locally (npm install .), can I have npm use my global packages?

When I run npm install . it takes a while to build packages that contain c code like expresso (which depends on node-jscoverage). I realized that I can copy expresso from my global package directory (~/Developer/lib/node_modules/expresso) to ./node_modules/expresso in my current directory before running npm install . and it won't bother compiling it. Is there a way to tell npm to try to install packages from my global npm directory before fetching and building them?

I guess this command might help: npm link
