multiple versions of node

[jaredly]

What's the best way to handle this?
Currently, n is used which downloads the version you want every build. This is annoying and adds >10 seconds to your build.

Suggestion:
strider-node have an npm postinstall hook that grabs 0.6, 0.8, 0.10, and 0.11. Then on each build you wouldn't need to download them, just copy them to the appropriate directories.

So this is what engineer is for: https://github.com/niallo/node-engineer

Might need some updates but basically cache whatever is required install from binary with nave if not.

@jaredly @niallo how would we integrate node-engineer?

[jaredly]

have it installed, and then instead of running npm install, we run engineer -f package.json -c "npm install"

[niallo]

yep, exactly.

What about the user select for a node version, would that still be done with n?
