Yeah, different from what is already there. For example, I'm told Dojo comes with a system using dojo.require that will dynamically concatenate and minify not just the dojo code, but custom components that you've built as well. I'm not fully up on Dojo.require, but the problem is that for javascript I write for my apps we had to create a custom build Ant task to take our js files, concatenate all of them together and then use YUI Compressor to minify and gzip them. A developer in the group who is intimately familiar with Dojo says that this process is built into dojo and is what he misses the most.
It's like Google Closure's calcdeps.py file seems to be to me on first glance. Maybe this process is already in place in jQuery but not well publicized. Can you point me to a tutorial of some kind that demonstrates how to use this Makefile? Can it be edited to include my custom scripts and then inserted into our build process? Sounds like it.
