lzma-native does not download liblzma.dll on Windows #65

When running npm install --save lzma-native on Windows 10, and then trying to require it, when it requires the .node binding it throws the following error:

module.js:678
  return process.dlopen(module, path.toNamespacedPath(filename));
                 ^

Error: The specified module could not be found.

Looking at the binding/ directory, only lzma_native.node appears. The work around (for me) was to install v3.0.8 (which then grabbed the .dll file, then copy that in to the bindings/ directory for the lzma-native version I want to use

The build situation has improved a lot as of lzma-native@6.0.0, so these kinds of issues should hopefully be less frequent now.
