Align require with node's require

[jhnns]

For compatibility reasons modules-webpack's require should provide the same API as node's require. Especially the cache-object can be very useful (e.g. for unit tests).

I'm not quite sure about require.resolve() but you could resolve the path while bundling and replace the relative path within the brackets with the (sanitized) absolute path (like you're doing it with require) (#5). The resolve function in the browser is a simple pass-through function that returns the passed path. This way I could easily remove a module from cache.

Imagine this code:

var modulePath = require.resolve("myModule/lib/test.js");

delete require.cache[modulePath];

I think the most useful thing is to return the "id" (a number) from require.resolve because it's the only thing the browser should know. require.cache uses the module number as key.

While compiling I replace the require.resolve call with a module id and the already existing cache object is exposed as require.cache.
