Fix unparseable package.json

Vinay Rosenberg requested to merge github/fork/davemevans/fix_broken_packagedotjson into development

Created by: davemevans

npm install will fail to do anything because package.json is not valid json - there is a trailing comma in the devDependencies node. See below for error.
