Use prebuilt Node.js binaries instead of compiling

[andreypopp]

First, thank you for nodeenv. This is an awesome package and I just successfully integrated it into a deployment workflow which now contains python and npm packages.

What do you think if for those platforms there are nodejs prebuilt binaries available, nodeenv can just download them instead of building node from source? Mac OS X, Linux and Windows are supported.

Glad that nodeenv was useful for you.
It's a good idea to use prebuild binaries. This approach saves a lot of time.
Unfortunately, I don't have enough free time to implement this feature at the moment.
But i'll try do it in a near future.

Thanks for using nodeenv.
