[Pkg-javascript-devel] Issues with coffeescript 1.9.1

Hi list,

Some developers here were requesting an update to coffeescript 1.9.1, I
went looking for a packaged version and found out that it has already
been merged in your team's git repo. I tried building this, but it
doesn't quite work as is. Attached below are two patches that allow the
package to build successfully.

Sadly even with these applied the package doesn't work, failing with the
following traceback:

/usr/bin/coffee 

module.js:340
    throw err;
          ^

Apparently something goes wrong with the search path when looking for
the modules, but my understanding of the node module system is somewhat
limited. I'd greatly appreciate any help with solving this.
