This is not an issue with LevelDB, but with the Node package that was put 
together.  Please contact my8bird at gmail (found via "npm owner ls leveldb") 
directly about this issue as this is not the bug tracker for LevelDB+Node.

Slightly off-topic:  If you're looking to use LevelDB from Node, checkout the 
leveldown/levelup packages instead of leveldb.  They're well maintained, and 
the owner is responsive.

I'd recommend closing this as a "won't fix".
