   - nodejs-symlink-deps: don't create an empty node_modules dir when a module
     has no dependencies
   - nodes-fixdep: support adding deps when none exist
-- use libexecdir for RPM helper scripts (per packaging guidelines discussion)
 - Add the full set of headers usually bundled with node as deps to nodejs-devel.
   This way `npm install` for native modules that assume the stuff bundled with
   node exists will usually "just work".
