[zeromq-dev] zmq prebuilt for node

[Kyle Kelley]

> How does prebuild differ from node-pre-gyp?

prebuild lets you upload to GitHub for releases whereas node-pre-gyp
expects you to push releases to S3. It appears that the builds from
prebuild are compatible with node-pre-gyp (
https://github.com/mafintosh/prebuild#building). I'm still learning about
how to work with native node packages, I'm no expert here.

Once you have an npm account and have run `npm login`, from a base package
(where you've defined a package.json), you can run `npm publish` and it
will push it to the registry. That's a little light on details, this
article is a better intro:
https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/publishing-npm-packages

Thus far I've only published dummies with zmq-prebuilt.
