current.js is the currently supported syntax for a MinonJS Object, new1.js and new2.js are both supported formats in MinionJS 2.x, the main difference between the two is that new1.js uses minion.extend("f00.module.BaseModule") whereas new2.js specifies BaseModule as a requirement, and then calls BaseModule.extend({});

Also included is require.js which is an example of how we would do it using RequireJS. I actually like this approach for a number of reasons, though it does have a few shortcomings.

Please comment on which approach you prefer, then list any complaints, suggestions or comments you have regarding any of the approaches.
