GYP is quite awesome indeed. It just lacks a few small things. It runs on Python 2.7, and to get Py on windows, youre gonna have to suffer a nice flood of download material. I just wish there was a more portable Python. Like, a typical PHP build is just 10MB or so - python seems to always come around with 100mb or alike o-o But then again, I am sure only devs really have it installed, since not every consumer PC has a toolchain installed... x3 Am So.
