Can not install serialport dependency on Node.js v6.3.1

npm ERR! Tell the author that this fails on your system:

npm ERR! You can get information on how to open an issue for this project with:
npm ERR! npm bugs serialport
npm ERR! Or if that isn't available, you can get their info via:
npm ERR! npm owner ls serialport
npm ERR! There is likely additional logging output above.
npm verb exit [ 1, true ]

This problem seems to be fixed by changing the version of serialport in package.json to current ("*"). It seems that the older serialport version is not compatible with current version of node anymore (compilation of native modules fails with lot of errors in nan.h)

Please consider a dependency upgrade :)
