prebuilt client?

Is there a prebuilt version of this that folks can just require and use? As it is it seems to take a bunch of native code and actually compiles things like curl etc. That whole deal take ~3min on a normal-ish CI machine. I don't really know what the client does but from the doc it doesn't seem all that complicated. Give this is specifically the client for node, perhaps a simple node web app could do the same thing?
