RequireJS in the TYPO3 Backend

Since TYPO3 CMS 7 it is possible to use RequireJS in the backend. A short explanation: RequireJS enables developers to have some kind of dependency handling for JavaScript. The JavaScript is written as so-called "Asynchronous Module Definition" (AMD). Some libraries delivered with TYPO3 are written as modules.
