Thanks. I was hoping to find a list of what was required to build native 
modules on Windows when offline (that way I can grab them and bring them into 
my offline environment). I created a Win7 VM and tried an install and it grabs 
a few other things from nodejs.org/dist and it looks like it stuffs them into 
~/.node-gyp. So maybe I can pull that list from there (I guess it also needs 
Python and Visual Studio/.Net framework).

Then again building on Windows isn't a hard req but is our standard dev box so 
figured I'd try.

I looked in binding.gyp for leveldown 
(https://github.com/rvagg/node-leveldown/blob/master/binding.gyp) but it didn't 
make a ton of sense to me. I'm assuming it would stash things in that 
~/.node-gyp tho so ill look there too.

Thanks
