Tar version 3 performs better and is more well tested than its predecessor. npm will be using this in the near future, so there is no benefit in shipping a node-gyp that uses the slower and less reliable fstream-based tar. This drops support for node 0.x, and thus should be considered a breaking semver-major change.

GYP automatically turns variables ending in _dir, _file or _path into absolute paths but didn't check for empty strings. It interacted badly with variables inherited through the environment from npm, the `scripts-prepend-node-path=false` setting in particular because it is turned into `npm_config_script_prepend_node_path=`.

Retry the download+install dance only once after encountering an EACCES. That only happens when both the devdir (usually: `$HOME/.node-gyp`) and the current working directory aren't writable. Users won't often hit that except through `sudo npm install` because npm drops privileges before executing node-gyp.

Currently, on non-Windows platforms, it is possible to have a multi-target native module and specify building just some of the targets using `node-gyp build my_target`. On Windows, however, specifying the targets to build requires the `/t:` or `/target:` flag. Without this change you will get an `MSB1008` error because MSBuild thinks you are trying to specify multiple solutions. PR-URL: nodejs#1164 Reviewed-By: Ben Noordhuis <info@bnoordhuis.nl>

Currently the files specified in libraries in node.gyp `cctest` target are getting a '.lib' extension on windows when generated with ninja. This commit adds a check to see if a file has a '.obj' extension and in that case no '.lib' extension will be added. Also, the LIBS specified in the 'libraries' section are not being included in the --start-group --end-group section which means that these libraries will not be searched causing issue with linkers where the order matters.

Description of change
Add an extra step to fix an issue with node-gyp rebuild on windows. After trying 2 days to fix it any other way.
The step that I added was a last resort effort before I was going to format my pc to see if that fixes it.
I kept getting error messages like:
that the path in the declaration is correct, and that the file exists on disk
