Description
To save bytes and time, currently we're hijacking the jquery-ui checkout from download.jqueryui.com to copy demo files when building the demo.
Soon, Download Builder will handle multiple versions and the chance the get garbage (different checkout than expected) from its tmp dir is higher.
We may need to handle it by our own or find a consistent alternative.
