While it's theorically possible to bypass node-gyp, I'm not aware of any actively used method that would do so. The node-gyp is a bundled dependency of npm, and is the code that parses the native module information (the bindings.gyp file that is), in order to generate the Makefile that will build the module. This Makefile will contain all the appropriate hard-coded information pertaining to the version of the runtime this module needs to be build against, including the path to the openssl headers that node-gyp just downloaded for the runtime in its local cache folder.
