Thanks. That is pretty nifty. However:
I do not see an index.js in the npm->node->modules->node-gyp directory or
any of its sub directories.
My directories on windows looks the same.
Still puzzled,
Subnote: There is a node-gyp entry in the lib directory that exports the
entries the failing code seems to be looking for.
