Excessive dependencies make repackaging more difficult (e.g. for distribution with Debian) and can cause security issues. It is also far more beneficial to the community to contribute patches upstream rather than bundling a modified copy, unless the upstream maintainer rejects them.
The goal of this PR is to reduce the total number of dependencies in the project by replacing rarely-used libraries with plain JS, and by replacing vendored libraries with updated versions through NPM. Feel free to merge it at any time; each commit can be taken independently, and I will file additional PRs for continued work if necessary.
