If we are not planning on maintaining the dojo files as a fork,
then we include installation instructions with the webapp, or an
install script that builds a webapp from our source and the latest
tarball from dojo.  The only time that we would distribute both is
when the RM builds a release, at which time the RM would install
the best available version of dojo inside the release jar.

I really prefer to have as few manual steps as possible in both normal
and release builds. Making the build script automatically download
Dojo is IMHO out of the question unless we want to reinvent Maven or
Ivy.

We do not need it in our subversion unless we plan on forking the
dojo content.  We are talking about 20MB of *source*.

I see two reasonable alternatives if we don't want to have the Dojo
source tree as individual files in our svn:

* Include a Dojo release zip instead of the individual source files,
and instruct Maven to extract the contents into the webapp at build
time.

* Use svn:externals to get the source directly from the Dojo svn repository.
