[horde] Javascript / Frontend refactoring: Tester wanted

[Mike]

I'm looking into doing this, however, I don't want to dork up my  
current testing configuration.

I thought I'd approach this by:

  - creating a new web dir location and cloning bundle into it
  - add imp, kronolith, and turba as a minimum
  - create separate directories for the individual repos of imp,  
kronolith, turba
  - modify the composer.json to use "path" entries to use these repos
  - update those repos with the prospective PR's mentioned below
  - update my web configuration as needed.

Am I making this harder than it needs to be?
