symlinks instead of copying? #68

Currently building binaries involves full copies of all the node modules. Would it be possible to provide a flag to use symlinks instead of full copies?

In some docker containers, filesystem operations are extremely slow, and since node modules get very big, this can make it impossible to use e.g circleci for node tests.

I have an implementation of this if you're interested.

Sorry for delay in response. PR definitely welcome on this. May have to be under a flag or require more work to support on windows.
