I've become accustomed to jQuery. Dependant on jQuery would be putting it better.
As such I had the idea of building a "packager" which would allow me to customize a jQuery distribution to include only the functionality I need for a project -- such as including the cross browser $.ready(), sizzle selectors, manipulation functions, and attribute functions .... with CSS, Events, Ajax, and Traversing abstracted out of the distribution. Something like YUI's Dependency Configurator; [ http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/articles/hosting/?datatable#configure ] My initial thought is that perhaps this work has already been done somewhere? Does anyone else have a need for it? Is it really unnecessary, as the "weight" of the base package is in Sizzle and the jQuery core/internals? My goal would be to make a packager that allows you to select components used... resulting in a lighter weight distribution. This distribution should be name-spaced [e.g. $ = jQuery-myDist; ] to avoid collisions w/ the potential existence of an introduced jQuery global object (full-blown version of jQuery). Having metadata in the jQuery source comments to indicate dependencies of every function would immensely help this particular endeavor -- but could cut into maintainability. Eventually the packager could be extended to include plugins.
