Fixes #44

Since v2.0.4 we've used a symbolic link for bower.json to reference package.json. This was done to ease maintenance.

Unfortunately, symlinks behave fundamentally differently between Unix and Windows. Bower would read the actual text content of the symlink (package.json) and report to fail at the first character (p).

This restores bower.json, while also adding an NPM script to make updating it in the future easier.

In a future breaking version, we should consider ditching Bower entirely for NPM.
