I noticed node-gyp build always creates a new .node binary even when no code/lib were changed.
Turns out that the fact that node.lib copy is created by writing the file each time, which changes its timestamp, is causing msbuild.exe to trigger a link operation.
writing the file, and copying the timestamp resolves this issue.
