Comment (by pierlo):

 Copying the library using a custom installer would also include additional
 files bundled with the library that is not relevant to the project. Adding
 the libraries to `composer.json` then using a script to copy the needed
 files (such as the Webpack copy plugin) would be the best option for now
 until autoloading is possible.
