Thanks. I actually looked at using this for gulp to improve perf on heavy sync operations, but not having precompiled binaries shipped for a native addon-on is a no go as most don't have the required toolchain. You should seriously consider shipping that ;)

Thanks for the suggestion! Back in 2002 I shipped pre-built native module binaries for Perl with PAR and PAR::Dist — If there is a similar tool or CI service for packaging up Node.js modules, please let me know and I'd be happy to add it.

There's unfortunately no tool to take all the pain away. In a wishful future npm will do this for you on some build farms at publish time, but I don't see that happening in the near future.

These might help:

@audreyt and @sindresorhus - I'm the maintainer of node-pre-gyp and it should be easy to package node-webworker-threads with it. The docs include recipes for automating everything on travis.ci (for linux+mac) and appveyor (for windows).
