install: de-duplicate code in downloadNodeLib() function #965
Conversation
Modified the result of processRelease() to return uniform names `libUrl`, `libPath` for Windows in objects named as target platforms (`ia32` and `x64`) This allows to loop over the target platforms in downloadNodeLib() and to use the universal names instead of two almost identical code parts with `libUrl32`, `libPath32` and `libUrl64`, `libPath64` names.

I don't mind this refactor although I consider the changes in process-release to be breaking because that module is usable outside of node-gyp (I've used it myself that way). The change is good, but I'd rather hold this off till v4, which we're close to because of the |

but anyway, we can break stuff in v4 so whatever |

sorry this got stale @pmed, still want to pursue it? if so, rebase to current master and let's take a look |

Hi @rvagg I've rebased it on the master. |
