Imported dependencies should only be loaded when attempting to access them. This should cut down on memory costs with complex applications.

Currently, packages live as a single instance. When a consumer requires an imported package, it is looked for in a container, meaning that all packages operate in a singleton scope.

This may be undesirable but I need input from users of this package to know whether imports should not be singleton.

Currently, configuration files require a base URL and strings pointing to modules on a hard disk in order to work.

module.exports = {
  url: __dirname, // Base URL
  packages: { // Packages to be injected
    'server': './server',
    'express': 'express'
  }
}

Would it make more sense to simply resolve modules from the working directory? Consider the following code.

module.exports = {
  packages: {
    'server': require('./server'),
    'express': require('express')
  }
}

Here we are specifically specifying what we want nwire.js to load, so the dependency on the base URL is gone. Any opinions on this?
