Thanks, I'll merge that with my version of the patches, and send them 
both for review. I think they are already very good, unless you think we 
need more time to make sure the build system is perfect.

Could you explain why this is necessary? In what case does this 
directory doesn't exist? I also wonder if it can be the case that 
node_modules is a file or a symlink that isn't catched by your check...
