I made socket.io-client a static version. 

Expect more modifications to the bower.json file. 

I'm also going to be adding dev dependencies in addition to the regular dependencies. 

The devDependency will be 
    "socket.io-client": null,
and the dependency will be 
    "socket.io-client": "0.9.16",
. 

This would be sort of like a backup dependency. 
is this a recommendation?
i'm happy to consider this, but would remove it before i accept the pull request.
