[zeromq-dev] zmq prebuilt for node

Resurrecting an old thread to talk about node and something Pieter said:

We now have zmq-prebuilt in good shape, even to the point of being a really
great project for building from source on platforms (there are binaries
available for node, you can build from source). Now that it generally
solves our problems for electron + zmq, we've acquired the zeromq name on
npm: https://github.com/nteract/zmq-prebuilt/issues/65

We generally believe in the zeromq community and ecosystem so we'd be happy
to move it into the main org.
