you can do something like

```
npm i && cat package.json | json -e "this.bundledDependencies='$(for FILE
in $(ls -A node_modules); do printf "$FILE "; done)'.split(/ /)" >
package.json && npm pack
```

We do something a bit more complex on our build server but this covers most
cases (wont set env variables when spawning npm and such so rebuild-bundled
will have to be set when you `npm i` on any other server if it has install
scripts that need running even if it was bundled).
