Description

I'm trying to use kbpgp as a module in our js application. Therefor I installed kbpgp via:

```
npm install kbpgp
```

To build the application I use the browserify cli

```
browserify index.js
```

index.js looks like

```
var kbpgp = require('kbpgp')
```

After waiting a few seconds browserify exits with the following failure:

```
Error: Cannot find module 'sodium' from '/home/USER1/Documents/test/node_modules/keybase-nacl/lib'

Research direction

Start with index.js and reproduce the failure using browserify index.js with the reported Node and npm versions. Inspect how kbpgp and keybase-nacl resolve the sodium dependency; done means the same entry point bundles without the missing-module error.
