node.js for rooted Chromecasts



For anyone interested, I've built a node v4.1.1 binary[1] that works on a rooted Chromecast. It's the binary only, so no npm (npm won't work with the default shell anyway since npm expects a more featured shell like bash). It's also compiled statically (with musl libc) so you cannot load compiled addons with it unfortunately (compiling statically was a heck of a lot easier to do than trying to link against the Chromecast's existing glibc).

Other than those two limitations, everything else should work (including HTTPS/TLS).
