Please remove "dist" from .npmignore

I'm the maintainer of a package* which packs jszip for the Meteor framework. Meteor has the option to set dependencies from npm, which I do.

The package adds zip functionality to server and client. The server side implementation relies on the npm module. For the client side implementation I simply sent the file dist/jszip.js to the client, which now is not possible any longer. Any chance you remove that folder from the .npmignore? I see how it's not required in a standard node setup, but it doesn't hurt to have it and enables me (and other users/maintainers) to ship the file directly to the client.

* Please don't think this doesn't matter because the package is listed with zero downloads. Meteor just changed its package management system which reset all counters to 0. I just updated my package to be compatible with the new system. Before it had several hundred downloads. :)
