Description

In iOS, you can do: 
var object = require('data.json');
On Android, you can't and get: 
[ERROR] TiExceptionHandler: (main) [545,551] ----- Titanium Javascript Runtime Error -----
[ERROR] TiExceptionHandler: (main) [0,551] - In ti:/module.js:280,9
[ERROR] TiExceptionHandler: (main) [0,551] - Message: Uncaught Error: Requested module not found: data/book.json
[ERROR] TiExceptionHandler: (main) [0,551] - Source: 		throw new Error("Requested module not found: " + request);
This should be quite easy to add to: https://github.com/appcelerator/titanium_mobile/blob/master/android/runtime/common/src/js/module.js

    This is supported in 6.0 as part of the major require-changes.
