Overrides the location where node-gyp will look for (and download to)
the node.js SDK.
For harmonization with the --nodedir flag, `osenv.home()` is now used
instead of `process.env.HOME || process.env.USERPROFILE`.
`osenv.home()` defaults to the built-in `os.homedir()` when available
and falls back to sane defaults based on the platform.
`%USERPROFILE%` is now preferred on Windows and `%HOME%` is ignored;
similarly, UNIX systems ignore `$USERPROFILE` from now on. Neither
behavior made much sense, IMO.

Closes#413.
There is a known issue with the Windows SDK and Visual Studio. It seems that when both are installed users may be missing the 64 bit compilers which will make using node-gyp for 64 bit really frustrating. It took me quite a bit of googling to find the information about this issue, as it didn't come up when searching for the various error messages and such. I've added a note to the readme to make it easier for people to find the compiler update and get node-gyp working properly on 64 bit systems with this common issue. :D
see the kb article: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=2519277 for some details. I had Visual Studio 2010 and 2012 fully updated before getting the SDK, the article describes a different scenario which leads to the same problem.
