Comment:

 We've always included the "official" builds of external libraries. Not
 particularly happy that we have to rebuild jQuery UI and bypass the
 official build on every update. This method is closest to our current
 setup but might introduce problems if/when the upstream build process
 changes. Even using different versions of the build tools might be
 problematic at some point.

 It may be possible to split the official build in four parts/files: UI
 Core, Interactions, Widgets, Effects. The same way as the
 [http://jqueryui.com/download/#!version=1.11.1&themeParams=none&components=0000000000000000000000000000000000000
 sections on the download page]. However not sure this will be better.

 As we will be rebuilding UI, we loose the "real life" testing of the
 builds (i.e. we will be running a slightly different code than everybody
 else). In that terms it is imperative that we adapt and implement the UI's
 automated tests: https://github.com/jquery/jquery-
 ui/tree/master/tests/unit.
