No: a nice thing with Dojo is that you can build a specific distribution
leading to a single dojo.js file that contains all that is needed by
your project and nothing more. This allows the browser to load only one
JS file that is a small as possible and cache it, rather than loading JS
files on-demand using XmlHttpRequest.
That's why we should provide a Dojo distribution, but make it very easy
for people to put their own custom distribution by just replacing a jar.
Sure, we could build our distribution by importing the Dojo source code
in the dojo block, but that doesn't bring much value IMO and makes it
less easy to update the Dojo version that we distribute.
What about having a dojo block that contains a dojo version that is enough for
our needs. We add it to the ajax-block as a "provided" dependency. If people
want to use it, they have to add an explicit dependency to their project -
either inlcuding our dojo block or using their own.
