Configuration
--------

__`node-gyp` responds to environment variables or `npm` configuration__
1. Environment variables take the form `npm_config_OPTION_NAME` for any of the
options listed above (dashes in option names should be replaced by underscores).
These work also when `node-gyp` is invoked directly:
`$ export npm_config_devdir=/tmp/.gyp`
or on Windows
`> set npm_config_devdir=c:\temp\.gyp`
2. As `npm` configuration, variables take the form `OPTION_NAME`.
This way only works when `node-gyp` is executed by `npm`:
`$ npm config set [--global] devdir /tmp/.gyp`
`$ npm i buffertools`
