Ah, I wasn't clear; my concern was whether the tools chosen would be
compatible with the CI environment. I'm hoping that distribution of the
tools isn't our concern (see below).

They're trying to resolve that https://github.com/jshint/jshint/issues/1234

But regardless, jshint doesn't have to be installed from a Linux
