One of the nice things about jQuery is that everything is modular. I
like this approach because it's easy to trim down the library to just
what you need and nothing else.

One of the "new" features on the jQuery UI site is the ability to
build a custom download of the library by selecting which plugins you
want to include in the library. I have a few gripes with this
approach, but maybe it's my naivety on it's true benefit.

I have a lot of pages with varying interfaces. One page might use the
date picker plugin, and nothing else, while another might use the
whole gamut: accordian, dialog, datepicker, etc. It seems logical to
me that I should allow my simple page to only include the datepicker
plugin, while my more complex page could include all the plugins that
it required.

Right now, this is difficult to achieve. You can download a build of
the UI library and select which components you want to be put into a
minified version, but theres no way to select JUST the component
without the core. This means that if I wanted to have something where
I'd include each component separately I'd be including the core
multiple times.

There are other options to work around this but they all seem messy,
and have a similar problem of decentralizing the core of the library.

So I guess my questions in short are, is there a way to download the
components, minified and modularly? If not what's the reason behind
this decision?

Thanks,
Tim
