Title: New version of backbone.js does not require jQuery

Backbone calls require('underscore') but not require('jquery') so the jquery dependency is not used unless we modify backbone.js. I documented the use of Backbone.setDomLibrary() to pull in jQuery or any other supported library, from either the kanso package or window.
