The issue is that BinDeps wants to check whether the shared library defined
as a dependency can be 'dlopen'ed. Since this is just a js file, that check
fails. Probably easier to use the built in 'download' function. Just put
that in your pkg build file. There is an optional argument to specify the
download name. Use Pkg.dir("Bokeh") to get the base install path.
