bower install doesn't work

[acornejo]

Installing this package through bower does not work.

The reason is that the distributable files (i.e. chosen.jquery.js) is not in the repository.

Please fix this, otherwise people who want to use chosen are forced to install npm, install grunt, and build the package manually. Actually its even worst than that, you also need to install ruby, gem, bundle (I had none of these) to build the css.

Please fix bower install.

We never advocated support of bower. We distribute releases through github releases to give the compiled files.

However, we explicitly made the choice to keep the generated files outside the repo, as versionning was causing conflicts on all PRs as soon as another PR was merged, making the maintenance work far more complex for us.
