File: tools/gyp_addon line 10
By TooTallNate:

Additionally, if we just change these two `'out'` instances to `'build'`, then the gyp_addon would build its files in the same place node-waf does. I'm not sure if anyone has a strong preference there. I personally don't. But I know that npm looks for a `build` dir specifically, so maybe @isaacs has some opinion on that.
