Requiring via browserify makes window.XMLHttpRequest undefined

[Tom MacWright]

// good
console.log(window.XMLHttpRequest);

var request = require('browser-request');

// undefined
console.log(window.XMLHttpRequest);

Found my way here because this module broke backbone.sync.

Is it really necessary to clobber the global?
