simple-app / neon-bindings only works through electron version 1.6.2 on windows

I couldn't get electron to work with neon-bindings at all, except for the sample-app example, and finally figured out that the simple-app example itself will not work for any version of Electron greater than 1.6.2 (the currently specified version in the package.json file). The most recent version it works with is 1.6.17, and the highest is 1.6.2. I'm not sure if this is only the case in Windows.

If I substitute any later version of electron into the simple-app package.json, I get an error like the following:

Error: The module '\\?\C:\examples\guides\electron-apps\simple-app\node_modules\neon-hello\native\index.node'

NODE_MODULE_VERSION 53. This version of Node.js requires
NODE_MODULE_VERSION 57. Please try re-compiling or re-installing
the module (for instance, using `npm rebuild` or `npm install`).

With version 57 being the same or lower depending on the Electron build specified.
