  Description     : Node.js build tool and bindings loader that supports prebuilds

node-gyp-build works similar to "node-gyp build"  except that it will check
if a build or rebuild is present before rebuilding your project.

It's main intended use is as an npm install script and bindings loader for
native modules that bundle prebuilds using prebuildify.

This is a new dependency of node-websocket. It will be maintained under
JS Team umbrella.
