Anyone had any luck using an alternative loader.js for ember-cli? I’d like to find an AMD loader that will resolve modules locally if they have been `defined()` but will load them remotely if they haven’t. The use case is that there are a few javascript files that contain configuration information that the business would like to be able to modify and deploy without requiring an application rebuild. I’ve tried both `require.js` and `curl.js` but both seem to break in ember-cli. It looks like [there is a configuration option for loader](https://github.com/stefanpenner/ember-cli/blob/master/lib/broccoli/ember-app.js#L106) so I would think someone is doing it successfully.

Ember CLI master does not embed configuration information in the `assets/my-app-name.js` output file.
