Here is the output when attempting to install the latest contextify on Windows 7. There was no npm-debug.log file so there is no additional info I can provide. I got the same problem trying to install contextify@0.0.7.

> contextify@0.1.0 preinstall D:\node_modules\contextify
> node-waf clean || (exit 0); node-waf configure build

node-waf was unexpected at this time.
