I guess I have three points to bring up.

Do we have users who only use jqUnit but not the framework?
Should we add a build module for jqUnit?
Will this make our tests more brittle, since changes to the framework could 
potentially affect it?

I personally don't know of anyone using jqUnit exclusive of the framework, so 
this may not be an issue. In regards to the build module, I think it should be 
there either way. I found it a bit annoying for Decapod that I would have to 
create a custom Infusion build and then have to copy and paste jqUnit. However, 
for point 3, I think this is a big issue. I don't know what an ideal way around 
this would be though. Any thoughts on this?

Thanks
Justin
