Cannot install on Windows 10 #217

I'm trying to use this package in combination with pkg to build a cross-platform binary.

node-expat seems to work fine in my dev environment (macos) but when running on Window 10, I am having some issues:

When I try to run the app, I see the following error:

Error: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp\pkg\<packageId>\node-expat\build\Release\node_expat.node is not a valid Win32 application.

Some investigation showed that it is an issue with node-gyp running in windows.

I was able to get working by manually running node-gyp on the source files after npm install.
