I started playing with node-webkit recently and am using the https://www.npmjs.org/package/nodewebkit module to make npm start work, e.g.:

https://github.com/maxogden/ssid-checkin/blob/master/app/package.json#L14

this would remove the implicit requirement of the node-webkit binary needing to be in the users $PATH (e.g. https://github.com/slate/slate/blob/master/Makefile#L12)

nodewebkit will download the latest node-webkit release for you automatically, which is super useful

for building the .app I am using https://github.com/mllrsohn/grunt-node-webkit-builder/, which is unfortunately a grunt plugin but other than that works very well and makes it possible to set up npm run build to build app binaries for different platforms.

alternatively for building binaries you could just change your Makefile to point at the nodewebkit binary that the nodewebkit module downloads
