The two main goals of this change are:
- To make it easier to build the Intl option using ICU (particularly,
using a newer ICU than v8/Chromium's version)
- To enable a much smaller ICU build with only English support The goal
here is to get node.js binaries built this way by default so that the
Intl API can be used. Additional data can be added at execution time
(see Readme and wiki)
More details are at https://github.com/joyent/node/pull/7719
In particular, this change adds the "--with-intl=" configure option to
provide more ways of building "Intl":
- "full-icu" picks up an ICU from deps/icu
- "small-icu" is similar, but builds only English
- "system-icu" uses pkg-config to find an installed ICU
- "none" does nothing (no Intl)
For Windows builds, the "full-icu" or "small-icu" options are added to
vcbuild.bat.
Note that the existing "--with-icu-path" option is not removed from
configure, but may not be used alongside the new option.
Wiki changes have already been made on
https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Installation
and a new page created at
https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Intl
(marked as provisional until this change lands.)
Summary of changes:
* README.md : doc updates
* .gitignore : added "deps/icu" as this is the location where ICU is
unpacked to.
* Makefile : added the tools/icu/* files to cpplint, but excluded a
problematic file.
* configure : added the "--with-intl" option mentioned above.
Calculate at config time the list of ICU source files to use and data
packaging options.
* node.gyp : add the new files src/node_i18n.cc/.h as well as ICU
linkage.
* src/node.cc : add call into
node::i18n::InitializeICUDirectory(icu_data_dir) as well as new
--icu-data-dir option and NODE_ICU_DATA env variable to configure ICU
data loading. This loading is only relevant in the "small"
configuration.
* src/node_i18n.cc : new source file for the above Initialize..
function, to setup ICU as needed.
* tools/icu : new directory with some tools needed for this build.
* tools/icu/icu-generic.gyp : new .gyp file that builds ICU in some new
ways, both on unix/mac and windows.
* tools/icu/icu-system.gyp : new .gyp file to build node against a
pkg-config detected ICU.
* tools/icu/icu_small.json : new config file for the "English-only" small
build.
* tools/icu/icutrim.py : new tool for trimming down ICU data. Reads the
above .json file.
* tools/icu/iculslocs.cc : new tool for repairing ICU data manifests
after trim operation.
* tools/icu/no-op.cc : dummy file to force .gyp into using a C++ linker.
* vcbuild.bat : added small-icu and full-icu options, to call into
configure.
* Fixed toolset dependencies, see
https://github.com/joyent/node/pull/7719#issuecomment-54641687
Note that because of a bug in gyp {CC,CXX}_host must also be set.
Otherwise gcc/g++ will be used by default for part of the build.

The parameter parser specifically looked for the old bracket syntax.
This generated a lot of warnings when building the docs. Those warnings
have been fixed by changing the parsing logic.

Original commit message:
timers: use uv_now instead of Date.now
This saves a few calls to gettimeofday which can be expensive, and
potentially subject to clock drift. Instead use the loop time which
uses hrtime internally.
In addition to the backport, this commit:
- keeps _idleStart timers' property which is still set to
Date.now() to avoid breaking existing code that uses it, even if
its use is discouraged.
- adds automated tests. These tests use a specific branch of
libfaketime that hasn't been submitted upstream yet. libfaketime
is git cloned if needed when running automated tests.

Building MSIs for different arch's can sometimes confuse MSBuild and
Wix, isntead run the toolchain externally so we don't have to worry
about which arch cmd.exe is running as.
Change the build/include_order rule to match our preference:
project headers before system headers.
The rationale is that system headers before project headers makes it
easy to slip in bugs where a project header that requires a definition
from a system header, forgets to include the system header but still
compiles because the source files that include the project header
coincidentally include the system header too.
A good example is the size_t type. A project header file that needs the
definition of size_t should include stddef.h but forgetting to do so
will probably go unnoticed for a long time because almost every other
system header includes stddef.h (either directly or indirectly) and
almost every source file includes one or more system headers.
Ergo, project headers before system headers. It's a good thing.
