Suggestion: Separate source files, build process, CommonJS & AMD support

[bgrohman]

Evan,

As I'm looking at the code, I'm noticing that there isn't a lot of functionality right now being provided by jQuery. If you don't deliver this as a jQuery widget, it might make it easier to break up the code into separate files (to be combined and minified as part of a build using something like Anvil - https://github.com/arobson/anvil.js) and implement support for AMD and CommonJS (see https://github.com/rniemeyer/knockout-kendo/blob/master/src/knockout-kendo.js as an example that supports AMD and CommonJS and uses Anvil).

Thoughts?

Here's how jQuery implements AMD: https://github.com/jquery/jquery/blob/master/src/exports.js. jQuery uses grunt for the build. Here's the config file - https://github.com/jquery/jquery/blob/master/grunt.js

Here's an example gist for CommonJS/AMD support: https://gist.github.com/3498987

Another great idea. Looks like I've got some reading to do.
