The simplest possible "hello world" node.js module written in C++

The simplest possible "hello world" node.js module written in C++

This is a super simple module written as a C++ binding. It does not show how to handle async io, but at least it illustrates how the code hooks into node and v8. This is just a place to start...

Download, build and test instructions:

$ git clone git://github.com/lupomontero/node-cpphello.git
$ cd node-cpphello
$ node-waf configure build
$ node test/cpphello.js
