engine access to all of these specialized packaes by default
with no additional action needed by end users of their plugin.
- Create our own version of BeautifulSoup4-4.4.0 called

libraries are not found instead of falling back to the
bundled copy. Finally, this makes the build more consistent
for Windows and OS X users.
