Since we are using only lib directory in node, ignore the rollup part 
above. In sockjs 0.4 rc1 they removed coffee script dependency, so one 
thing we can try is to see if sockjs 0.4 rc1 works with shiny-server, 
though getting a new upstream version to bookworm may be a hard thing, 
but it may be a better option that vendoring what we have right now.
