unable to use module with browserify

[andrewrk]

the try/catch dependency on EventEmitter defeats browserify's module resolution. This is one example of why I kept insisting that we should try to have the dependency resolution in component (for example) look the same as node.

I know you'd like to pretend that browserify doesn't exist, but if the stated goal for the module is "Async batch with concurrency control and progress reporting for nodejs and the browser" then one good metric would be whether it works in browserify.

it's a horrible hack, but i think this works:

try {
  var EventEmitter = require('events').EventEmitter;
} catch (err) {
  var browserifyhack = require;
  var Emitter = browserifyhack('emitter');
}
