Building gyp with `--shared-cares` doesn't do much. Since cares is now wrapped by libuv (which offers lookups through either cares or uv_getaddrinfo) and lacks a similar `--shared-cares` flag, the point of having such a flag seems moot.

A more viable option could include offering a system/shared version of libuv instead?
