We need to keep ObjectWrap around for module authors (we think), but v8 3.21 broke node_object_wrap.h with respect to MSVC. Coincidentally, we no longer use ObjectWrap at all in core, and native modules might as well use their own entirely internal implementation if they need it.
Evented I/O for V8 javascript.

You can download pre-built binaries for various operating systems from http://nodejs.org/download/. The Windows and OS X installers will prompt you for the location to install to. The tarballs are self-contained; you can extract them to a local directory with:
tar xzf /path/to/node-<version>-<platform>-<arch>.tar.gz
Or system-wide with:
cd /usr/local && tar --strip-components 1 -xzf \
/path/to/node-<version>-<platform>-<arch>.tar.gz
To run the tests:
Unix/Macintosh:
make test
Windows:
vcbuild test
To build the documentation:
make doc
