- make `make test` run again (fails with 1 fatal and 2 errors now instead of an immediate crash in vows/d3 itself)

- fix code to prevent crash when used in non-browser environments (e.g. NodeJS)

- do NOT use Uglify in any form when creating the base file - had too much trouble with that bugger before to ever allow it near the main code process again; besides, having the straight stuff at hand makes debugging/diagnostics easier.
