Please, Andrius, think twice before repeating the discussion already had 
about node-iconv and node-expat.

I urge you to read through that previous thread (if you haven't 
already), and I recommend that you consider if it is really worth it to 
look at node-node-sass differently from those other packages.

If you find that it is sensible to follow the approach already taken by 
those other packages, but are uncertain how concretely to implement it, 
then I can suggest to look at the most recent git commits for the 
packaging of node-expat: I tried to isolate and minimize the changes 
made for each commit to hopefully be easy to follow.
