Devise pattern for both AMD & <script> loading with r.js optimization

[anodynos]

Check anodynos/uBerscore#1 & https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/requirejs/NJ8A8SIffW0

With https://github.com/anodynos/uBerscore as an example, I want to have a single optimized build, as a single uBerscore.js that runs both:

1. as <script> (needing a global _ been loaded before). Its exporting _B as a global.

OR

2. as an AMD inclusion, it returns it self and (optionally) exports global.

I decided to use almond.js to achieve this 2-fold single build.

For the 1st case to work, since I don’t want to include ‘lodash’ in the build I tricked build.js to {paths: { lodash: "get_global_lodash" }} where get_global_lodash.js simply returns the global window._ . (example https://github.com/anodynos/uBerscore/blob/master/source/examples/uBerscoreExample_almondJS_noAMD.html)

The 2nd case, ironically, is more complicated to me. If I use the above ‘get_global_lodash’ trick, and since inside almond fake-loader, how can I load the real ‘lodash’?

The only way I have found so far is to use {shim : {uBerscore: { deps: ['lodash'], exports: "_B" }}, that loads ‘lodash’ from the ‘external ‘ requirejs. Example https://github.com/anodynos/uBerscore/blob/master/source/examples/uBerscoreExample_almondJS_AMD.html

It works fine but it’s a shame to need shim to run AMD code!

Does anyone have an idea of what pattern to use ? I want to avoid having two sep builds (AMD and plain).

Any help will be greatly appreciated, as I am looking to generalize it enough and include it to uRequire (https://github.com/anodynos/uRequire), the Universal Module Converter I am also developing.
