config.gypi stripped no matter the path

[mscdex]

Can the config.gypi removal be restricted to <module dir>/build directories only instead of anywhere?

This is a safety thing -- since config.gypi basically includes a scrape of the user's environment, it can (and has) leak sensitive information. My understanding is that this file is a cache that gets regenerated when node-gyp, so why do you want this packaged?

Well, for example I am using the filename config.gypi for an addon (I am bundling a wrapped library, so my config.gypi file is actually inside ./deps/library/config) of mine so i could have one include that pulled in platform-specific configurations. So now I am forced to change a filename for something unrelated to node-gyp itself. Kind of annoying...
