Turn node's process.version into something useful.

## Usage

```js
var nodeVersion = require('parse-node-version')(process.version);

console.log(
  nodeVersion.major,
  nodeVersion.minor,
  nodeVersion.patch,
  nodeVersion.pre,
  nodeVersion.build
);
```

## API

### parseVersion(nodeVersionString)

Takes a node version string (usually `process.version`) and returns an object with the `major`/`minor`/`patch` (which will all be numbers) and `pre`/`build` keys (which will always be a string). If the version doesn't contain any pre-release or build information, the properties will be returned as empty string.
