Pure minimalistic CommonJS builder

Pure CommonJS Modules builder.

Features

Minimal destination overhead (almost as small as concatenated file).
Resolves all the paths on build stage to static number identifiers (so saves space and execution time used for storing and resolving string paths, but should be used only for projects with static require('./some/module') calls and would fail on others (same restriction applicable for r.js (Simplified CommonJS wrapper) and most projects already match this).
Ability to export module.exports from top module in UMD style (useful for building libs).
Allows to use through-stream(s) for pre-transformations.
Supports modules installed as npm dependencies in node_modules hierarchy.
Does not corrupt require('systemModule') calls, transforms only local ones.
