Hi

We were just hit by an old bug.

In https://github.com/buddycloud/webclient we require both `coffee-script` and `formatdate`. The latter has a dependency on `coffee-script` as well. It now happens that npm tries to build `formatdate` before `coffee-script`. That fails because the `coffee-script` dependency is unmet, but `formatdate` requires it to build.
