Demos should use package.json

[Kitson Kelly]

Instead of the /demos being built off of parsing README files, they should be converted to use CommonJS package.json.

We should also consider adding a build profile to each one as well.

It is something I will likely try to contribute in the future, so I am comfortable if you assign the ticket to me.

I thought we already had a profile: demos-all.profile? But I'll assign to you, I'm sure some improvement is possible, probably each demo should have it's own profile.

And I'm not familiar with how demos are built at all, so I'll take your word for that.

[Kitson Kelly]

Yes, while there is a demo.profile.js and a package.json for the whole suite, neither of them are very specific and the demos.php, which generates the demos page on the website, parses a file called README in each demo directory to figure out what to display, when, in my opinion, each demo should have its own profile and package.json and we should deprecate the README to drive the whole process.

Given that no one has shown interest in creating a patch in the past 3+ years, I'm closing this as patchwelcome.
