It sounds good indeed.  To be honest, all this Node packaging gets a bit over 
my head and I am not sure how it works exactly (the whole JavaScript packaging 
ecosystem just looks crazy to me).  I usually just use compiled JavaScript 
files and almost never compile them myself.

I thought that using host-nodejs to compile JavaScript packages was a new 
Buildroot policy, but apparently according to [1] and [2] we prefer to stick 
to precompiled JavaScript files?  If so, I will send a v2 patch for the vuejs 
package (... when I find some time.)

(As for my opinion, should it have any relevance: I also prefer that Buildroot 
relies on pre-compiled files, at least as long as it cannot do some vendoring 
for Node packages.  Downloading stuff outside of Buildroot's download system 
is quite annoying.)
