[bug#49946] [PATCH 0/3] guix: node-build-system: Support compiling addons with node-gyp.

[Philip McGrath]

Hi,

I've reworked the part of the patch series dealing with node-gyp.

I'd like to find an NPM addon package to submit as part of this series, too,
basically as a test case. If I can find one that doesn't raise too many other
complications, I may send this in as a separate patch, but feel free to try it
with tree-sitter, too.

There are a few things I'm still not sure about. I haven't made
node-build-system add libuv as an implicit input, because I think some
node-gyp addons don't actually need libuv, but maybe it's common enough that
it should be done automatically.

Likewise, I haven't tried to change the issue of `node` referring to
`node-bootstrap`, but I still think it should be changed.

These patches are also on GitLab at
<https://gitlab.com/philip1/guix-patches/-/tree/wip-node-npm-gyp>.

Improvements welcome!

-Philip
