Closes #73

"gulp.js" (1) is a awesome tool to create simple or complex build
workflows with streams, but there are also some drawbacks:

* Gulp plugins often get out of date and don’t support new features from
  the underlying library
* The project depends on the Gulp plugin author and not the library that
is being wrapped
* Documentation for Gulp plugins are typically not very robust or
  comprehensive
* Debugging a Gulp plugin can be frustrating (is the problem in the
  plugin or in the underlying library?)
* If a plugin doesn't exist already for Gulp you need to write it
  yourself
* Errors that occur inside a Gulp wrapper aren't always handled very well

All currently implemented Gulp tasks have been migrated to npm scripts by
directly using the CLI API of the wrapped library.
