turns out with kiln:0.1.18 we will have bower support for free (b.c this version includes git support), but with a little necessary tweaking from user's end.

1. They need to include in their uploaded zip an .npmrc file containing unsafe-perm = true . This enables NPM to run as root, which is required for postinstall scripts to run according to discussion here.
2. They must include bower as a dependency
3. The package.json must have a postinstall script that looks like this "postinstall": "node_modules/bower/bin/bower install --allow-root" because npm deps aren't installed globally

the above comment looks as though there is a solution, while it is hacky. closing for now as we rework and will revisit if user testing produces such a need again
