title: Fail to make Laravel 4's Validator class work outside the framework
body: <p>I'm trying to use Laravel'4 Eloquent outside of the framework, since the Illuminate/Database package as been made availabile stand-alone via composer.</p>
  
  <p>Eloquent itself is working fine, but I'm blocked trying to implement validation rules.</p>
  
  <p>I've tried first with some pre-built library like Ardent and then with my own code but the result it's the same, I got this fatal-error:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Fatal error: Call to a member function make() on a non-object in
    vendor\illuminate\support\Illuminate\Support\Facades\Facade.php on
    line 177</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>The problem always start when I call Validator::make();</p>
  
  <pre><code>$validator = Validator::make(
      $this-&gt;attributes,
      array('name' =&gt; 'required')
  );
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Looking in debug it seems that <code>static::resolveFacadeInstance('validator');</code> is called but it just return <code>null</code>.</p>
  
  <p>I'm not familiar about how a Facades are meant to work, can anyone point me in the right direction? Thank you!</p>
  
  <p>This is my composer.json:</p>
  
  <pre><code>{
      "require": {
          "illuminate/database": "~4.0",
          "illuminate/validation" : "~4.0",
          "laravelbook/ardent": "dev-master"
      },
      "config": {
          "preferred-install": "dist"
      },
      "minimum-stability": "dev"
  }
  </code></pre>
