Building node-osrm from source fails if node-osrm is used as a dependency

[daniel-j-h]

In mapbox/osrm-isochrone#27 a user tries to install osrm-isochrone which uses node-osrm as a dependency (for the matrix plugin). With Node.js 7 the user has to build node-osrm from source.

But building node-osrm from source against Node.js 7 fails because the node-osrm package does not come with the osrm-backend buildsystem or sources leaving from source builds broken if used as dependency.

Either use Node.js LTS 4, 6, or 8 in the meantime. Or build node-osrm from source from this repository:
