RequireJS tracer

trace.js

/*
 * requireJS trace
 *
 * Given a configuration object, as would be passed to the optimizer,
 * runs a raw build trace on the configuration, returning the traced
 * dependency trees.
 *
 * Loaded as a requirejs module on the server.
 *
 * eg:
 * 
 * var requirejs = require('requirejs');
 * requirejs.configure({ context: 'server', baseUrl: '__dirname' });
 * requirejs(['trace'], function(trace) {
 *   trace(buildConfig, function(trees) {
 *     // where trees is the array of dependency trees from each of the modules.
 *   });
 * });
 *

        // add the configuration
        requirejs(config);

        // prepare the modules for tracing dependencies
        var buildContext = require.s.contexts._;
        for (var i = 0; i < config.modules.length; i++) {
          var module = config.modules[i];
          if (!module.name)
            continue;
          module._sourcePath = buildContext.nameToUrl(module.name);
        }

        // run the trace
        traceModules(build, config, moduleCallback, completeCallback, errback);
      });
    });
  }

});

Currently the trace seems to load modules from the www-built folder instead of the www folder.

One way to ensure it traces from the source folder is to set config.dir = 'www' at line 75.

The issue is that the configuration is then polluted when running the build, so I've found it necessary to clone the entire configuration object first when doing this.

A better solution for the above would be useful here.
