Not a js dev, but it seems like when doing a compare if a package already exists, hyphens should be removed (so "crossenv" and "cross-env" are considered identical). "js" seems like needless verbosity, maybe take that out too.

I wouldn't doubt that there are package names that would collide because of such a change, but that's probably a good thing.

Does npm normalize package names with unicode in them? Would "сrοѕѕ-еnν" be considered equivalent? (Although this would only work if users copy/paste the name).
