Correct way to handle modules with missing end semicolon

[jthrilly]

What is the correct way to deal with a module that doesn't end with a semi-colon? mapbox.js doesn't have one in either the source or minified versions it distributes, which causes whatever follows to throw 'cannot find module' exception with bower_concat.

It seems like they simply advise people with problems to 'use better build tools'.

The correct way is to fix the improperly built library.

If they don’t want to that you can try to use the separator option.

Thanks. FWIW I agree completely, but they are adamant that they are in the right. I'm not sure I know enough to comment on the technical arguments, but it seems very petty since a number of users have raised this issue.
