Description

As i pointed out in https://github.com/nodejs/io.js/issues/1807, it would be great to have a compatibility matrix regarding which versions of Nan works on what runtimes. Ideally this should be in JSON format, so we can build a module that can automatically check on which version of node/iojs a module compiles (also taking care of dependencies!). We might also include NW.js and electron.

Research direction

Begin with the compatibility requirements in this issue and the referenced nodejs/io.js issue #1807; identify which Nan and Node/io.js runtime combinations must be represented. Done means an agreed JSON compatibility matrix covering the stated runtimes and a clear basis for automated module and dependency checks.
