Hello,

I know nothing about nodejs. Is OpenSSL support absolutely mandatory?

if BR2_PACKAGE_NODEJS

Thanks to the if above, you can drop this depends on.

Ditto.

> +	help

Does NodeJS contains libraries required by other packages?

I haven't looked at the nodejs source code, but looking at this, it
seems like it is using a conventional autoconf based build system. Can
you use the autotools-package infrastructure instead of redefining all
the configure/build/install steps manually?

This should be in a separate patch, with an explanation on why it is
necessary.

Thanks!
