SOURCE_STR currently includes the value of $HOME (at install time).
Change SOURCE_STR to include a literal "$HOME" (to be expanded at
profile runtime) so that sourcing nvm will work if the user changes
their username, shares their profile, et cetera.
Also use the more portable single-square-bracket test.
Using `cd` makes the nvm directory the number-one directory in `autojump`'s database---which is somewhat confusing since the user basically never `cd`s to it directly!---so here's an alternative method that doesn't use the `cd` command. I've checked it works in both Bash and Zsh.
$ curl -i www.urchin.sh
curl: (6) Could not resolve host: www.urchin.sh; nodename nor servname provided, or not known

Under certain network environments, due to poor implementation of file
download caches (immoral Chinese ISP), the direct download of Node.js
packages (http://nodejs.org/dist/node-$VERSION.tar.gz) will be
redirected to alternative urls using 302 redirections, which are not
handled by `curl --process-bar` by default. Instead, curl will "fail"
silently without creating any output file or error exitcode.
(Tested under Ubuntu 12.04 Desktop)
Fixed by adding "-L" switches to the curl commands responsible for
downloading the binary and source node.js packages.
The git:// transport is vulnerable to man-in-the-middle and DNS
spoofing attacks and its use over untrusted networks should be
discouraged.
Change to the https:// clone url in the install instructions.
The same fix as #207, just for fools like me who have `which` aliased to `type` in OS X. Without this escape, a very cryptic error message is emitted (though the install ultimately succeeds, as long as one actually has `curl` installed).
