The intent was to create an online demo of ESLint that runs in the browser
(see: https://github.com/eslint/eslint.github.io/issues/3). Unfortunately,
the person who was doing it dropped off the face of the earth and it never
went anywhere.

Really the "eslint" object is what's being tested in the browser. We run
that to make sure there are no Node.js-specific dependencies that have made
it into that object. If that object works, then we can logically infer that
the rules will work (since "eslint" runs the rules).

It's a non-goal to have ESLint run in any specific group of browsers - we
really just wanted a demo page so some people could play with it.
