Add Support For Environments Without `require()`

Hello, I'll try to provide separate builds with UMD.

btw. did you consider using browserify?

[mcordingley]

It certainly is a possibility, but it's also an additional dependency that is both easy to avoid and could easily grossly complicate a setup, particularly if the project already uses something like require.js.

Point of fact, I have a current project that uses require.js and AMD modules. It has a case in it where this code would be a big help, and I'd pull this into that project in a heart-beat, except for the difficulty of integration with the module system that I'm using.

Just wanted add a 👍 to this. I am in a situation where this would be perfect but our code base isn't using commonjs or requirejs and not really interested in adding browserify.

Now there's a build which exports BackboneProjections as a global. I guess you can also use this with AMD loader like require.js by supplying shim in a config:

shim: {
  "backbone.projections": {
    exports: "BackboneProjections",
    deps: ["underscore", "backbone"]
  }
}

That works for me. Thanks!
