Dear Maintainer,

Please include the attached script, installing it into /usr/bin/wasi-node.

This is a script that acts as an interpreter for WASI programs, by using 
NodeJS's
experimental WASI module API. You can compile WASI programs using rustc, e.g.:

$ cat hello.rs
use std::env;

pub fn main() {
        println!("hello, world! {:?}", env::args());
}
$ sudo apt-get install libstd-rust-dev-wasm32
$ rustc --target=wasm32-wasi hello.rs 
$ wasi-node ./hello.wasm 1 2 3
(node:981078) ExperimentalWarning: WASI is an experimental feature. This 
feature could change at any time
hello, world! Args { inner: ["./hello.wasm", "1", "2", "3"] }

It'd be nice if this script were also forwarded to upstream for inclusion in
their development version (14), but I'm not familiar with their submission
process so I'd appreciate if you could do that.
