 Note that I was unable to disable assertions when compiling the transcoder in release (-O2), and I'm not sure why yet. Currently, basisu.h forcefully disables the assert() macro, which is ugly but works:
 
-`#if defined(__EMSCRIPTEN__) && !defined(_DEBUG) && !defined(DEBUG)
-// HUGE HACK: I've been unable to disable assertions using emcc -O2 -s ASSERTIONS=0, no idea why. 
-// We definitely don't want them enabled in release.
-#undef assert
-#define assert(x) ((void)0)
-#endif`
