Bundle osrm-components with node-osrm

The use case came up to quickly iterate on components and a modified profile making use of the shapefile generated by osrm-components. At the moment we do not bundle osrm-components mainly because it is an internal tool, we run it on the demo server anyway, and there is the debug map rendering components in real-time.

Can we bundle osrm-components easily with this package for npm?

What I can see on the osrm side is components not being supported by the mason build? Is this because of libgdal? @springmeyer any insights here - what’s your take on this ticket?

Another alternative:

I’ve used this, it works. The shapefile format is significantly smaller than a GeoJSON output would be. For our use case, we would only need a very simple wrapper.

https://github.com/Project-OSRM/osrm-backend/pull/3570 just landed upstream unblocking us from bundling osrm-components with node-osrm in the 5.6 release. Let’s ship this!
