chai-xsd-schema's Issues

Uses node-gyp and Python which are not mentioned in the install

Trying to install this module to my Mocha and Chai tests on Windows gave me the following message

C:\alma\node_modules\libxmljs-mt>if not defined npm_config_node_gyp (node "C:\Users\Jonathan\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\npm\node_modules\npm-lifecycle\node-gyp-bin\....\node_modules\no

This thing requires node-gyp which is exceedingly problematic on Windows.

The docu needs a warning that these modules are required.
