Your last point seems unavoidable should gyp be decided to stay. Above 
problems were basically the main reason I created this thread in the first 
place. The positive side-effect of switching gyp to gn is great but 
shouldn't really be a reason to explore switching.

Will ninja be added as a third party dependency (it's pretty simple to both 
build and install) or should a npm ecosystem also consider integrating the 
build tool as well? I wonder if there's been any thoughts on this matter in 
the npm camp. It'd be valuable feedback since they're probably involved in 
this as much as node itself.
