This is the first stable release of the project. It converts a Node.js application into a standalone Windows .exe by copying the source files and dependencies, creating a C wrapper, and compiling it with GCC. It uses a config file (lbuilder) to define the app name and optional icon.

The tool creates a build folder with your Node.js app and node.exe, then compiles a small launcher to run your script. It currently only works on Windows and assumes GCC and windres are installed. The path to node.exe is fixed, and there’s limited error checking.

Despite being incomplete and having some limitations, the tool works well for packaging simple Node.js apps into executables.
