Google Closure module support

[blq]

Support for the Google Closure module system is easy to add also.
Example: https://developers.google.com/closure/library/docs/tutorial

Just add this style at the top of the file:

if (typeof goog != 'undefined' && typeof goog.provide == 'function') {
    goog.provide('MyModule');

    goog.require('MyDependency1');
    goog.require('MyDependency2');
    // ...
}

The tool then used to build the full dependency tree is found here:
https://developers.google.com/closure/library/docs/depswriter

@beriberikix you're a little more familiar with the closure module system than I am (I think) :) Could you let me know if you think this addition is worth adding to a UMD (universal module def pattern).

[beriberikix]

Only marginally. @cramforce did some work module server IIRC.

[cramforce]

@beriberikix Module server doesn't know anything about the closure module system actually and is really designed for CJS modules.
Anyway: The above would probably work. I have no idea whether it would be worth it.

I would generally favor a "needs multiple implementations" rule for UMD inclusion -- CJS, AMD, browser globals fit in this realm, but things like google closure, old Dojo and YUI would not. That said, I am not opposed to others working out different rules or different patterns. However, I will not have the time to maintain them or manage any pull requests for them.
