How to skip css! references in r.js builds?

[tangst]

I'm using grunt-contrib-requirejs, which packages r.js. The site I work on has wrapped the css.js file into a define module into the the global space. So, simply referencing

require(["css!some_file"],function(){}) 

works fine when you just use it inline without doing an r.js build and upload the file.

However, when trying to do a r.js build, I get the usual "Cannot read property 'normalize' of undefined" message. Is there a way to tell r.js that when it sees css! to ignore it for the build? I've tried

require.config({
   paths: {
     "css": "empty:"
   }
});

but that doesn't work.

I have the same problem, do you have fixed it?
