You don't actually need to compile node yourself to compile native modules, just use node-gyp: https://github.com/TooTallNate/node-gyp
The reason you don't need to compile node manually is that node-gyp downloads the required node.lib file from Joyent's servers, all you need to do is specify the target version of node you want to build the module for. Please let me know how it works for you! P.S. I realize that that didn't at all answer the original question, I just wanted to perhaps show you a better road to go down.
