Meteor 1.6.1 Incompatibility?

Trying to instantiate Hammer...
// Get a reference to an element
var square = document.querySelector('.cite');
// Create a manager to manager the element
var manager = new Hammer.Manager(square);

Getting this error:
TypeError: Cannot read property 'Manager' of undefined

Found this thread that argues there is a "Hammer" name collision in Meteor... any workarounds?
