Seems reasonable. Someone should write a node-xdg module to kick things off...

Closing due to age and no takers.

@refack did you make progress on this?

I've done this for several modules using env-paths if this change can be made as a major version bump it will be straightforward to do and I'm willing to take this issue and #1124.

The relevant code is placed this right?

node-gyp/bin/node-gyp.js

Lines 19 to 23 in b2e5cf0

var homeDir = osenv.home()
if (prog.devDir) {
prog.devDir = prog.devDir.replace(/^~/, homeDir)
} else if (homeDir) {
prog.devDir = path.resolve(homeDir, '.node-gyp')
