Node-Ify llab

[cycomachead]

There is apparently a lot of work to convert using llab in node.js

• Create an index.js at the root level
• Each of the core libraries needs a module.exports
• We should namespace each file for easier consistency / writing. (Each file is basically a mini module.)
• We need to separate functions that need access to document or window
• Things other than loader.js probably shouldn't just randomly execute code
• Each script could have a webInit() method, or something that gets called from loader, or the loader could be augmented to have take in an onLoad callback for each "module". Yay, callbacks.

What is the point of using node? For building, sounds good. But, for serving the course?

For building....But edc wants a full web server...so yeah...uh...

llab is mostly going to serve up static assets, rather than service ajax,
no? Probably not the best role for node. Now, the building, I'm with you
there. I've started in on that for my apcsa using node.

Well, if there's a login system for teachers and such, then who knows. It could be cool to have quizzes query the correct answer for a survey.

But we could / should have a way of building the full static html pages.
