Looking closer, it passes the dir_importer object as 'this', meaning 
that __init__.js can do:

var foo = this.bar.foo; //will refer to variable 'foo' in 'bar.js' in 
same dir.

And since the dir_importer now handles everything as it should, it also 
works if 'bar' is a subdir or a libseed_bar.so

Very nice, actually. It should probably be documented somewhere :)
