Description

The extension static media packaging code attempts to install

dependencies needed for the pipelining process. If *.less files are

provided, it will install LessCSS. If *.js files are provided, it will

install UglifyJS.
This solves one of the more annoying issues with extension packaging,

which is getting the right versions of the right dependencies going.
Subclasses can also augment the installation behavior by overriding

install_pipeline_deps().

Testing Done

Tested building an extension without having lessc or uglifyjs in
my path, and with a clean source tree. Verified the generated output
in the packages.

Tested with and without having npm in the path. Saw an error when it
wasn't found.

Tested the case of npm install ... failing.

One would think. Turns out if you don't have a package.json, it doesn't seem to want to do this. Instead, it walks up the tree and tries to find a place to put it. For me, it found a ~/node_modules, and put it there instead. By forcing the existence of this directory, we can force it to install in the correct location.

Ship it!
