npm Package for Bower 1.7.5: Missing node_modules/bower/bin/bower

[bentolor]

To be able to use individual bower version per project we do not install bower globally, but locally (effectively using npm install with bowe in the package.json of the project instead of doing a npm install -g bower).

Bower 1.7.5 breaks all builds as it no longer ships the binary node_modules/bower/bin/bower

Same for me. Its under 'lib' now...

Please see #2157

Money quote:

I've switched from using hardcoded bin path to using node_module/.bin/bower which fixes the problem for me

So if this is the npm-way to linking to binaries I'm okay with the change in general.

But having a deprecation warning in a wrapper file for transition and not changing this in a point release would be appreciated.

Thanks @vijayk and @cyt-rsd for the fast feedback. This really helped me to sort out the issue far quicker than I could have done.

Closing in favor of #2157
