Description

The Javascript community is split between CommonJS[1] and AMD[2] (and perhaps other) "standards" for module loading. AMD was developed specifically[3] to address deficiencies that CommonJS has in browser-based environments. Since DynJS will be exclusively server-side, it makes sense to use the CommonJS standard - at least initially. Also, Node[3] uses a CommonJS approach to module loading. If we want Node parity, we'll need to support it anyway.

Code pulled into the master branch from https://github.com/dynjs/dynjs/pull/16 is a start. But I'd like to see if we can't fully implement CommonJS Modules 1.1.1 http://wiki.commonjs.org/wiki/Modules/1.1.1
