Add bower support

[iki]

used to register the package with bower:
bower register auto-reload-brunch git://github.com/brunch/auto-reload-brunch.git

now it's possible to:
bower install auto-reload-brunch
and have it automatically compiled by brunch, e.g. in config.coffee/files.javascripts.joinTo:

        'js/vendor-develop.js': /// # additional vendor lib for development
          ^vendor.*[\\/](
              'auto-reload'
            )\.js$
          ///

not sure about this.

brunch loads by default all npm plugin vendor files. what’s need in this?

[iki]

it's not related to the plugin lib/index.js delivered by npm and loaded automatically by brunch

it makes client-side vendor/auto-reload.js deliverable by bower

use case:

• in a development env for a client-side app, we source an additional js/vendor-develop.js lib compiled by brunch and also js/auto-reload.js taken from assets
• so while auto-reload is a vendor lib, it's not treated like that, which has some cons:
  • it has to be in repository
  • it's not updated on bower install or bower update
  • it's not compiled to js/vendor-develop.js, where it should belong

simple solution:

• treat auto-reload as any other vendor lib (like outlined above) ... which needed to make it instalable via bower

@iki do you need composer support? bower and component are cool, but composer (php) in js project is weird

[iki]

no, I don't need it, it's just habit to add its package info as well, ie.
for others who might want to use the package with composer (e.g those weird
php guys :) ...of course, it can be left out until anyone actually needs
it, if at all
