Trying compare google/gyp and nodejs/node-gyp (and node gyp)...

$ git clone https://chromium.googlesource.com/external/gyp
$ (cd gyp; git rev-parse HEAD)
caa60026e223fc501e8b337fd5086ece4028b1c6

$ git clone https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp.git
$ (cd node-gyp; git rev-parse HEAD)
741ab096d554f2d3e6b6a7232b06872a0c1375f8

$ diff -ruN -x test -x .git gyp/ node-gyp/gyp/ | grep "^diff" | wc -l
50
$ diff -ruN {,node-gyp/}gyp/pylib/ | grep "^diff" | wc -l
32

At top level diffs exclude pylib directory:

- setup.py, gyp, gyp.bat => no diffs
- gyptest.py => gyp only
- gyp_main.py => node-gyp add code for cygwin
- buildbot/, test/ => gyp only
- data/ => no diffs
- samples/ => node-gyp doesn't support py3
  https://chromium.googlesource.com/external/gyp/+/bd11dd1c51ef17592384df927c47023071639f96%5E%21/#F7
- tools/ => no diffs about python 3 support
  - tools/pretty_gyp.py => node-gyp doesn't import following patch
(but not related py3 support)
    https://chromium.googlesource.com/external/gyp/+/5874a3cf9baccfae5cbfc4f5b84ba9a5c3568133%5E%21/#F0
  - tools/pretty_sln.py => minor changes
  - tools/pretty_vcproj.py => minor changes and py3 support

    node-gyp has original patch, but it's the same as gyp, semantically.
