npm install that requires node-gyp fails on Windows
<p>I have a NPM project that uses <code>bufferutils</code> and <code>utf-8-validate</code>, both requiring node-gyp to install them. When I do <code>npm install</code>, I get following error:</p>

<pre><code>&gt; bufferutil@1.2.1 install C:\Users\Marek\WEB\moje-skoly\web-app\node_modules\bufferutil

<p>Previously it failed because of Python 2.7 not installed, now it is this. It's causing me headaches. What should I do about this?</p>
