Does **contextify** require node-waf when installing via **npm**? I realize Windows is funky but here's the console output I get installing with **node v0.6.5** and **npm 1.1.0-beta-7**

C:\Users\Glenn\Documents\nodeProjects\techRadar>npm install contextify
npm WARN htmlparser@1.7.3 package.json: bugs['web'] should probably be bugs['url']
npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/contextify
npm http 304 https://registry.npmjs.org/contextify

> contextify@0.0.7 preinstall C:\Users\Glenn\Documents\nodeProjects\techRadar\no
de_modules\contextify
> node-waf clean || (exit 0); node-waf configure build

node-waf was unexpected at this time.
