Description

Currently in projects like https://github.com/sass/node-sass, we ship prebuilt binaries for various platforms. It's come up a few times where people would prefer the `binding.node` files published as peerDependency type projects. Currently we just piggyback off GitHub releases to distribute binaries, but there are other common native modules the leverage things like https://github.com/mapbox/node-pre-gyp
Do you have any thoughts on how native binaries would fit into distributed registry world?
