NodeNinja: Note that having a module that will hapilly 'npm install' on all three OSes does NOT require pre-building them. The Gyp scripting you saw does exactly that: it detects which OS it's building on and follows different instructions for each. Testing all three, on the other hand...I second mscdex' vote for using a virtual machine to test in a native environment. :) If you're looking at an embedded system, you *might* want to cross-compile the module down to a binary on a different machine, at which point you have stepped into a different arena from simply building something that will compile and run successfully across platforms. (I'd stick it out for native compilation; YMMV.)
