Implementing Neo4j Driver for Meteor: Part 1

1st, I started with this:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10114526/how-to-build-a-meteor-package

Which was quite helpful. This led me to clone down the meteor repo. It seems that “mongo-livedata” is the package to start with, so I copied that folder and named it neo4j-livedata. 

repo wide find/replace install neo4j npm replace require to neo4j delete all html files (hope thats ok =/)

watch what fails.

app/packages/neo4j-livedata/mongo_driver.js:77
  Neo4j.connect(url, {db: {safe: true}}, function(err, db) {
        ^
TypeError: Object #<Object> has no method 'connect'
    at new _Mongo (app/packages/neo4j-livedata/mongo_driver.js:77:9)
    at new Meteor._RemoteCollectionDriver (app/packages/neo4j-livedata/remote_collection_driver.js:4:16)

Exited with code: 1

add a bunch of sys.puts.

Make sure you run meteor from your checkout.
