The `cross-env` used by the author seems useful, I didn't know about that, and for this reason I'd usually write a separate bash script when I wanted to execute something like
FOO=1 some-command
because this syntax doesn't work in `package.json` on Windows.
BTW. If you're not into bash for writing long scripts, it's pretty easy to write shell scripts in nodejs. Node 0.12+ has native `execSync` that is nice to have to write build code in JS in synchronous way. I wrapped it with two helper functions to have sth like `execAndPrint` and `execAndReturn`:
It's not as powerful as bash script (doesn't support | syntax for redirecting etc) but if you need that, you can extract it away to a helper bash script.
