Build a browserfs.js standalone library #29

This is a requirement for the newly-minted doppio-demo repository.

I can see this happening in two ways:

  1. Select which FS types you want, then bundle them into a compressed JS file.
  2. Throw the whole kitchen sink of FS types in, and let the library user select the configuration at startup.

I'm confused about this issue. Do a make release, then look at lib/browserfs.min.js. It contains all of the file systems. The developer chooses the configuration at startup, and determines whether or not to install global variables (like require).

See 000-browserfs.coffee for details.

Also, if I switch BrowserFS to TypeScript, supporting the 1st case is easy -- TypeScript already automatically determines which modules are used / need to be bundled, so you would simply perform tsc 000-browserfs.ts [list of FS to compile].

Yeah, I think the current state of the project is ok. I'll close this after we get BFS working with Doppio correctly.

Closing -- BFS works with Doppio, but fails in IE9 at the moment (see bug #36).
