ready function on package

[amelon]

Hi,

as include and require use a deferred execution to build path, it would be usefull (at least for test) to have a ready function to ensure package is ready to answer correctly.

Using mocha I've done following "trick"

function waitPathReady(package, done) {
  if (package.paths.length) return done();
  console.log('nb_waits', ++nb_waits);
  setTimeout(function() {waitPathReady(package, done)}, 5);
}

Or maybe, package should answer once it is ready?

I ran into the same problem when I was building the command line tool -- I wanted to use the package once it's ready, but didn't have a good way of doing it. I like the idea of a ready callback, I'll work on that.
