Hi Gary and Maris (and other Launchpad devs):

  The lazr-js build system is starting to get a little long in the
tooth.  One of the biggest issues we've had recently is managing the
python dependencies that go along with the sdist, specifically in how
the dependencies differ between launchpad and landscape.

  I wonder if it would be better if we could just store the lazr-js
directly in our tree.  I think it would go a long way to making it
easier to upgrade lazr-js in Launchpad (and reduce complication in both
the lazr-js and launchpad build systems).

  I'm wondering if you see any terrible, terrible things about this
plan.

Cheers,
Paul
