can the plugin be made to look for templates in a specific place under 'assets', or anywhere under 'assets'?
rationale: i do not want all my templates to be in the /assets/ directory, but in a dedicated place, such as /assets/templates/ or /assets/tl/ and either:

• tell the plugin where to search for templates, or
• have the plugin scan sub directories under '/assets/' and compile all .tl files (i tried this with /assets/templates/ directory, but it did not work).

here's how i managed to get it to work the plugin with require.js. here is my experience based on the current readme (in coffeescript):

Include the core dust file in your require.config portion, and as a dependency for your app (dust can be downloaded from LinkedIn Dustjs or here):

require.config
paths:
dust: '../third/dust-full-2.3.4.min'
shim:
app:
deps: ["backbone", "dust"]
exports: "app"
require ["app"], (app) ->
$ ->
console.log("app")

Place your template .tl files into the app/assets directory.

Pull in the generated javascript template file as part of your view's required:
define ["app", "../../home"], (app) ->
class app.Views.Home extends Backbone.View

Render the template:

render: () ->
dust.render "home", model, (err, out) =>
$(@el).html(if err then err else out).data
