Description

Getting this error that says it's the fault of this package when installing `webcat`:

```
$ npm install -g webcat
npm WARN deprecated graceful-fs@3.0.11: please upgrade to graceful-fs 4 for compatibility with current and future versions of Node.js
npm WARN deprecated natives@1.1.6: This module relies on Node.js's internals and will break at some point. Do not use it, and update to graceful-fs@4.x.
npm WARN deprecated minimatch@1.0.0: Please update to minimatch 3.0.2 or higher to avoid a RegExp DoS issue

Research direction

Start with the node-pre-gyp install entry shown in the log, then inspect node_modules/.../graceful-fs/fs.js and graceful-fs/graceful-fs.js where the exception occurs. Reproduce the npm install with Node v11.6.0 and compare the dependency versions involved. Done should mean the wrtc install completes without the reported ReferenceError.
