Hi,

since I've been playing with packaging javascript lately, I might give 
some hints.

That one doesn't look too bad.

That one doesn't look too bad.

That one looks pretty bad in one sense : its list of depends is huge, 
with cycles here and there.

The good news is that webpack as a sort of 'make' : it mostly calls 
other tools to do things, so if you call them directly, there's a chance 
things will go smoothly.

And indeed if you look at webpack.config.js, the tool is named 
'source-map' ; with some luck the node-source-map package I updated in 
may will be of use.

Indeed, and that's the reason the "doesn't look too bad" above should be 
taken with a grain of salt : things can easily go awry.

Hmmm... the good news is that I already got typescript packaged in 
october. For the rest, I hope it's mostly to build doc or run tests.

I'm still fighting to package 'rollup', which is a new build-dep of 
es6-promise, which I packaged in october too.
