Stupid question - how to configure JS libs so they show up in the class browser

I have managed to get most things working, however I haven't figured out how to configure JS libs I'm using so that they show up in the class browser.  

You can't. Only Smalltalk classes and packages appear in Class Browser.

You gey to JS libs in using their JS way of access (though you can write it using Smalltalk notation). For libs that play nice with amd, you map them in your require.config (you can put as many mappings in paths section as you wish, it is not meant just for your Smalltalk packages of your project, but for all libs you use) and in code you write the JS require('amd/path/to/lib') in Smalltalk as (require value: 'amd/path/to/lib'). If the lib does not play nice with amd (though many of them do using shim: exports: thing), they then very probably export some global variable, just use it as-is in Smalltalk code (well, you must work around if it contains $ or _, but it is just a matter of defining some accessor method with body <return idWith$andOr_>).

Oh, and do not forget to mention the mapped libs in require(['amber/devel', ...1], function (amber) { ...2 }); call in ...1 part. Do not load JS libs by <script> tag if possible, integrate them in amd loader. It will then make deployment easier later when we make Amber project ready for r.js optimizer and include amber config stuff - they are all amd-heavy.

Having worked mainly in Smalltalk, Java and Objective C I'm unused to the very manual interactions between npm, bower, grunt and the Amber

Forget grunt. Bower just conveniently gets all dependencies for you, which is nice. Npm is same thing for development tooling.
