Updated version of webix:webix meteor package?

I tried the webix:webix meteor package for integrating meteor data sources with webix UI elements, and it works great! Then I put a sidemenu view in my app and hit the wall with the message “unknown view:sidemenu.” Sure enough, the webix:webix package in atmosphere is version 2.5.14, but sidemenu didn’t come to webix until the current version 3.1.

So, my question is what’s the best way to get the most recent version of webix into meteor? Should I try to patch / overlay the webix:webix package files with the newer webix? Should I drop webix:webix completely, and manually put the latest webix into the meteor packages directory and try to patch together my own data synchronization?

In general, I’d like to keep up to the latest version of webix and meteor, and not be bound by a package like webix:webix that might not be updated very frequently. Any suggestion as to the best approach?
