The source of modernizr is here:
https://github.com/Modernizr/Modernizr/tree/master/src

The fact the building tools for this software are not in debian should motivate maintainers
to actually package grunt, not rediscuss rules or best practices.

I wish "Small Node.js packages in NEW" thread were more discussed:
https://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-_javascript_-devel/2015-April/010242.html
because we have a real problem to solve there...
