Remove reactify from package.json dependencies about react-select

I would love to do that, but unfortunately it breaks the build process if you are using browserify and haven't included reactify as a dependency of the project where the build is happening.

It seems like a lesser of two evils thing: either

• webpack (or other build process) users get a package installed from npm that they don't need, or
• browserify users who aren't using reactify will get an obscure error

I'll see if I can work out a better strategy for both ecosystems...

TBH I am considering switching from JSX to React.createElement(... syntax.

I find JSX much clearer for visualising DOM structure but don't love the build-related mess it creates supporting both browserify and webpack.

For library consumers the best thing is publishing code that needs no transformation — this issue and #26 wouldn't exist in the first place. And users of any other module bundlers wouldn't be affected either.

You can still keep using JSX for development (so reactify goes in devDependencies), but you only publish to npm the scripts transformed to React — you could whitelist files by using the files field in package.json or blacklist them in the .npmignore file.

(Note that you can also leverage files/.npmignore to reduce the download size to the bare minimum. Consumers will be happy to have faster downloads!)

@julen I think I'll go with your suggestion here if we don't come up with a better idea in #40, especially given #38. I'm already publishing code that doesn't need transformation for standalone use, was just expecting that if you've got a browserify / web pack build process in your project and are using React, JSX transformation wouldn't be an issue.

I've updated the build process to pre-build JSX to a /lib directory, which package.json is now pointed at. So this should be all cleaned up now.

Just verified this on my side and everything works like a charm without special-casing 👍

Many thanks!
