Bringing CommonJS and npm to GJS



I've been thinking about for a while and finally made up my mind: JSGtk+ was solving the wrong issue and in a wrong way. The project is officially death/deprecated now, but not without an alternative ... bear with me ...

npm is the biggest Open Source repository of them all. It's not about NodeJS code, it actually has more Browser modules than Node, but it also has Espruino, Nashorn, MS ChackraCore ... you name it.

Having GJS out of npm is the number one issue I have, while having also a 100% NodeJS compatible API is less relevant.

This is why I've created an alternative to JSGtk+ called CGJS (CommonJS based GJS), which can be installed via npm install -g cgjs and can be used already to require, in a CommonJS fashio, scripts and modules from your project folder.

More details here, and I'd love your contribution / feedback.

Thank You!
