node --vars returns nothing in 0.6

[Stephen Veit]

I am trying to use libxmljs with Node.js 0.6.5. In order to build, libxmljs depends on "node --vars" returning the NODE_CFLAGS define. This is no longer defined since node_version.h no longer includes node_config.h. Is this a bug or intentional? How is a module that needs to compile against include/node headers supposed to find where the headers are located?

tl;dr: it's gone, use the process object.
