Publish to Bower

@kriskowal I noticed you were reluctant to publish to Component. Do you feel the same way about Bower? It'd be very useful to those relying on it for CI.

I do feel the same way about Bower, if not more so. Q was working on Bower by coincidence for a long while, but when I stopped using UMD, stopped checking in the non-CommonJS build products, and started publishing versions of version 2 under the experimental tag, the Bower users downstream were suddenly out of luck and had to lock their version explicitly like q#1.0.1. It seems to me that Bower needs to get its act together to play well with npm.

I am now considering Bowser support. I did a thing called Q-Git based on JS-Git that lets me pretty easily commit build products directly to branches or tags. I might take this approach to building ASAP for Bower, complete with bowser.json, directly to the version tag when I publish. The key is that publishing needs to be one command and no redundancy in the source.

😲 That's brilliant!
