AMD + RequireJS support

[GordonSmith]

Would it be possible to add AMD loader support (for us poor dojo developers)?

Something similar to:
https://github.com/dc-js/dc.js/pull/590/files

+1. I'm trying to get this working myself on a CrossFilter / DC / D3 stack using Twitter Flight and RequireJS. I don't know enough yet about AMD or I'd attempt to submit a patch myself.

I successfully used RequireJS's shim config:

require.config({
  paths: {
    "crossfilter": "/bower_components/crossfilter/crossfilter"
  },
  shim: {
    'crossfilter': {
      deps: [],
      exports: 'crossfilter'
    }
  }
});

Hope this helps while we wait for this!

I tried the shim config, and I keep getting "not-a-module" using the hacked together dojo version of require.js

[reedspool]

@lord-xeon I'm sorry that's happening. I am not familiar with dojo, but perhaps their version of require.js is older than the shim? I don't know what version shims came around, but I am sure they were not always part of the spec.

Are you able to use other, sure-fire shims? Underscore.js is commonly shim'd like this, for example.

[lord-xeon]

Yes, other shims work, such as d3.

dojo uses their own custom version of require.js which makes it just about impossible to use any "AMD ready" plugin I would like (moment.js, Pnotify, etc.)

@reedspool Thanks very much, your solution works for me.
