Make core lib environment agnostic to support use in the browser

[kadamwhite]

This is definitely something I'd been considering, probably by way of using Browserify to package the application to a browser-compatible built file and exchanging native Node utilities like url with Browserify-able equivalents. If you want to take a stab at that, or have your own approach, please feel free! If not, I'll have time to tackle this probably in early November.

I think this can be closed thanks to Browserify. It appears they shim most core libs that can be used from the browser now. I just just installed this via npm and required it into a React app built with Browserify no problem.

edit: I figured I should add that I only tried a single wp.posts() call so some other functionality may not work.

That's great news -- do you have a demo or repo up I could check out? I'd like to see it in action before I close the issue, and I haven't had time to put a test together myself yet.

This is the repo I am working on: https://github.com/alexciarlillo/react-wp It is a WIP and is using ReactJS and RefluxJS for views and data-flow respectively. I can try to hammer out something simpler a little later if needed.

This can be closed, browserify usage works OOTB.
