Does 'tilelive' belong to dependencies ?

[strk]

I've been trying to use tilelive-vector as a tilelive driver (with no much success so far, if there's any example it would be great to see it) and got confused by "tilelive" being included as a dependency of it on "npm install tilelive-vector".

The problem was that I was registering a "test:" protocol to my required tilelive while tilelive-vector uses its own instance of "tilelive" to load the source, thus not finding my own.

Should I register source/backend drivers into the tilelive-vector own instance ?

Note that removing node_modules/tilelive-vector/node_modules/tilelive fixed that issue for me, resulting in tilelive-vector using the tilelive instance in the upper levels.

... I'm sure I'm doing something completely wrong, but anyway decided to file the ticket because tilelive-mapnik (for comparison) does not require 'tilelive' as a dependency
