Simplify JS dependency inclusion

[begriffs]

Code inside of lib/ needs to be included in both Phantom and a its simulated browser page. Phantom supports require() but the simulated page does not. This leads to weird code like this

var MODULE_NAME = (function () {
  var my = {};

  my.foo = function () { ... };
  // etc...

  if (typeof exports !== 'undefined') {
    _.extend(exports, my);
  }
  return my;
}()); 

This way it uses exports if that exists, otherwise it declares a global variable for the module which a page can reference.

Simplify this!

@joshuarh do you have any ideas?

You could move that helper somewhere, so it's not repeated, maybe something like browserify would help. I'm not sure I'd have to play with it a bit
