<em id="fn1">1</em>: The gcc4.8-libs package needs to be installed, because node
binaries have been built with GCC 4.8, for which runtime libraries are not
installed by default. For these node versions, the recommended binaries
are the ones available in pkgsrc, not the one available from nodejs.org.
Note that the binaries downloaded from the pkgsrc repositories are not
officially supported by the Node.js project, and instead are supported
by Joyent. SmartOS images >= 16.4 are not supported because
GCC 4.8 runtime libraries are not available in their pkgsrc repository

like `mintty` requires the usage of [winpty](https://github.com/rprichard/winpty)
for the tty channels to work correctly (e.g. `winpty node.exe script.js`).
In "Git bash" if you call the node shell alias (`node` without the `.exe`
extension), `winpty` is used automatically.
