A node.js and npm version manager for the Windows users. Nodist employs a wrapper executable to shim the functionality of Node. Since Windows doesn't have signals, sending a SIGTERM, or similar will probably not be propagated to the actual node process. Since the node version changes at the mercy of the shim executable, based on env vars, target directory and the global setting, and availability of node versions, it is possible that locally or globally installed node modules that depend on a specific version of node (usually native modules and downloaders) stop working. The "npm rebuild" makes things work again in these cases.
