Description

Possibly related to #5, and I'm not sure I can replicate. But I'm making an issue here for future peoples who may run into the same thing.

I had initialized a small starter project with a default package.json. I copied over a larger package.json from another project that included let-anything. Installation repeatedly failed when running `npm install`. The failure message said something like:

`/.../node_modules/bs-platform/lib/bsb.exe: unknown option '-backend'.`

So I removed `let-anything` from my package.json, and installed. That succeeded. Then I ran:

`npm install --save let-anything`, and everything is dandy again. Maybe something with bib-native and the cache?

Research direction

Start with the copied package.json and a fresh starter project, then run npm install to check whether the failure points to node_modules/bs-platform/lib/bsb.exe with the unknown '-backend' option. Compare that result with installing after removing let-anything and then running npm install --save let-anything; done means a fresh-project install works without the workaround.
