include() should not be used by libraries because it will pollute the global
namespace. To discourage this behavior and bring Node more in-line with
the current CommonJS module system, include() is removed.
Small scripts like unit tests often times do want to pollute the global
namespace for ease. To avoid the boiler plate code of
var x = require("/x.js");
var foo = x.foo;
var bar = x.bar;
The function node.mixin() is stolen from jQuery's jQuery.extend. So that it
can be written:
node.mixin(require("/x.js"));

It's broken in Python 2.4.4. One gets this message when trying to run
configure:
[...]
Checking for SYS_clock_gettime : ok
Checking for library rt : ok
Checking for function clock_gettime : ok
Checking for function nanosleep : ok

The problem is probably this:

As a solution I am copying 2.6's version of the function in.
