The delay-load hook that was supposed to make compiled addons work on
Windows regardless of the iojs.exe/node.exe filename causes issues with
a small amount of compiled addons.
Therefore this patch makes it an opt-in feature. An addon may set the
'win_delay_load_hook' option to 'true' in its binding.gyp to enable this
feature.
Example:
```
{
'targets': [
{
'target_name': 'ernie',
'win_delay_load_hook': 'true',
...
```
|
Can you elaborate a bit on what kinds of issues this is currently causing? |

So delay loading doesn't work when data references are imported from a DLL. This is also triggered when the addon inherits from a base class that has virtual members, because the vtable needs to be imported. The issue is pretty easy to spot, it causes a linker error that tells the user not to use delay loading. @kkoopa already pointed that out here, but I couldn't reproduce that, even after testing with more than a handful of modules. So most modules should just enable this option and call it a day, but we can't just assume that it always works. |

LGTM |

On Windows, when node or io.js attempts to dynamically load a compiled
addon, the compiled addon tries to load node.exe or iojs.exe again -
depending on which import library the module used when it was linked.
This causes many compiled addons to break when node.exe or iojs.exe are
renamed, because when the binary has been renamed the addon DLL can't
find the (right) .exe file to load its imports from.
This patch gives compiled addon developers an option to overcome this
restriction by compiling a delay-load hook into their binary. The
delay-load hook ensures that whenever a module tries to load imports
from node.exe/iojs.exe, it'll just look at the process image, thereby
making the addon work regardless of what name the node/iojs binary has.
To enable this feature, the addon developer must set the
'win_delay_load_hook' option to 'true' in their binding.gyp file, like
this:
```
{
'targets': [
{
'target_name': 'ernie',
'win_delay_load_hook': 'true',
...
```

The delay-load hook that was supposed to make compiled addons work on
Windows regardless of the iojs.exe/node.exe filename causes issues with
a small amount of compiled addons.
It seems a bit irresponsible to land it as part of a patch release.
Therefore this patch makes it an opt-in feature. An addon may set the
'win_delay_load_hook' option to 'true' in its binding.gyp to enable this
feature.
Example:
R=@rvagg (FYI as the release Meister)
R=@am11 (could you test this with node-sass?)
