There should be a better way to do this; currently this hack is here just to prevent disk access.

For now I changed this to just check for window.

This is a POC for getting fetch-and-compile working in the browser. The webpack configs created for this are kind of hacky with all the ridiculous shimming and a very narrow code path is attempted to avoid using the filesystem.
The biggest challenge was getting compile-solidity working in the browser. I wanted to leverage the CompilerSupplier infrastructure. I added a
loadSoljsonmethod and it was necessary to create a WebWorker in which to complete compilation as the browser would complain about not being able to use some of the web assembly api in the main thread. We pass the WebWorker the soljson and execute the compilation there before passing the result back to the main thread.
