I think for addons, common.gypi should define USING_V8_SHARED instead, then in node.gypi we need to undefine it/override it to BUILDING_V8_SHARED when building libnode, though that might be a bit challenging to get right with the messy gyp config inheritance all over the place..for now there should probably not even be any difference on Windows (USING_V8_SHARED only affects Windows AFAICT, but currently both the addons and the Node.js build have BUILDING_V8_SHARED on Windows before and after this PR, even though it's technically not quite right for the addons to do that - not that it's going to be buggy, just less optimized). We can look into it in a follow up.

yeah, agreed that addons should have USING_V8_SHARED defined. Right now, it is defined in node-gyp. So here in common.gypi, it may be removed in a follow-up.
