I'm trying to close the gap between upstream build and our builds by 
using rollup to generate cjs file as well, but build fails with this 
error.

	/usr/bin/node -e require\(\"./.\"\)
/home/pravi/forge/js-team/less.js/dist/less.cjs.js:17699
const { Barrett } = BigInteger.prototype;
                               ^

TypeError: Cannot read property 'prototype' of undefined
    at Object.<anonymous> 
(/home/pravi/forge/js-team/less.js/dist/less.cjs.js:17699:32)

This code comes from node-ecc-jsbn and it looks like a bug there, its 
package.json wants jsbn 0.1 but we already have 1.0
