Currently it uses timers / dependenciesFullfilled callback which are not controlled by the user.
Maybe good first steps for an implementor:
- move out helper methods (mainly IDBFS caching / LZ4 decompression) produced by file_packager.py into a JS file that can be included with the main JS library
- file_packager.py should also export a JSON containing file-list and data offsets
