Important: Sinon v1.x does not work with AMD/CommonJS Bundlers!

Sinon.JS v1.x as source doesn't work with AMD loaders / RequireJS / Webpack / Browserify. For that you will have to use a pre-built version. You can either build it yourself or get a numbered version from http://sinonjs.org.

This has been resolved in Sinon v2.x; Please don't report this as a bug.
