GN, Generate Ninja, is a pretty cool project, actually. I actually always wondered: We have a scripting engine. Why do we rely on Python for GYP, if we have NodeJS? Is there no gyp replacement in node itself? Its something that I just never understood... Since the only people that build from source will very likely have python installed, knowing that they will need GYP.
So I would suggest to switch to GN, or to make your fully own tool to help on that. Its not too hard either. I am working on a build tool myself, that I will very likely extend to be able to build nodejs modules, by querying GYP or a nodejs module, for the location of header files. Just my 2 cents on that. :3 Oh, also, has anybody ever seen a stand-alone source tree of GN? I have not... PS.
