Re : Can you use a page's existing jQuery in steal?

1. steal.config({
       map: {
           "*": {
               "jquery/jquery.js" : "jquery",
               "can/util/util.js": "can/util/jquery/jquery.js"
           }
       },
       paths: {
           "jquery": './jquery.js'
       },
       shim : {
           jquery: {
               exports: "jQuery",
               ignore: true
           }
       },
       ext: {
           js: "js",
           css: "css",
           ejs: "can/view/ejs/ejs.js"
       }
   })

Here is my dummy jquery.js:

1. steal(function() {
       return window.jQuery;
   })

Here is my buildjs result:

1. Building to
     opening postviewer/postviewer.js
   !!!!!!!!!!! ERROR !!!!!!!!!!!
   
   -message    = Cannot call method "extend" of undefined
   -fileName   = file:////web/public/js/apps/can/util/jquery/jquery.js
   -lineNumber = 2
   -name       = TypeError
   
                 error loading html element  [object HTMLScriptElement]   TypeError: Cannot call method "extend" of undefined
   

I hope I'm not being a total idiot here.  My build command is:

1. ./js steal/buildjs postviewer

I've also tried building with a dummy html page.  I think this is how jmvc worked a while back.

1. ./js steal/buildjs postviewer/postviewer.html

This file simply includes jquery, twitter bootstrap js, and my main can app in that order.  It looks like it's working for a sec but outputs:

1. Building to postviewer/
     opening postviewer/postviewer.html

No files are created and no errors are returned.  I thought maybe this might work but I'm shooting in the dark at this point.

I know you guys are busy and I don't want all of this to sound like a lazy, whiny diatribe...but i firmly believe there needs to be a solid bridge in place to connect the jquery+bootstrap "environment" with your amazing js awesome sauce.  There is nothing suckier than creating bad-ass-ness with CanJS and realizing your dependency management is holding you up.  (also, steal is awesome...just. want. moar.)
