Research direction

Start with the command-line invocation shown in the issue and the Browserify API approach it asks about. Verify support for mixing Bower-installed jquery and angular with npm-installed handlebars, then document the supported invocation or clarify whether a main-build.js require clause is required.

Description

Hello

Does debowerify work when just creating a bundle on command line like this

browserify.cmd -t debowerify -r jquery -r angular -r handlebars -o bundle.js

jquery and angular being bower installed modules while handlebars is the npm installed version (I know I could in that use case use only bower modules (not sure if there is a properly maintained angular npm style module to do it the other way) but I am trying this as a test for more complex bundling.

Or do it only work inside the "require" clause of a "main-build.js" module ?

Should I achieve that using the API style of browserify ?

Context : I try do build bundle one for infrequently updated base libraries (angular and co, lodash, d3 and a few others), one for thematic libraries and one for my code at least so that only my code is to be browserified when doing compile / test cycles.
