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.

Hi all,
I pushed node-gyp-build (#977472), but after checking more I think it's
a bad idea to push such package to Debian: its goal is to check if a
prebuild object exists in package downloaded from npm registry before
launching `node-gyp rebuild`.
Debian packages provide compiled objects and don't use on-the-fly
compilation, then this package is useless. I removed this dependency
from node-websocket using a simple patch [1]
So please reject node-gyp-build.
Cheers,
Xavier
