nodejs-underscore now ships a pure-JS js-underscore subpackage fully
compliant to the new guidelines.  (Mostly thanks to Jamie Nguyen, the
maintainer, who already took care of the compilation/minification
process, all I had to do was ship the subpackage. :-)

Fixed in nodejs-underscore-15.1-2 for all current Fedora releases:

This one's more involved.  It needs many of the same BuildRequires as
jquery does.  I'll revisit it once we get jQuery in the distro.

I filed this bug so it didn't get lost:
