A while ago we talked about the same idea: during regular application
development to use a qooxdoo library file ("build") while keeping all
individual custom classes ("source"). This would help keeping browser
reloads fast. Need to see if we missed to file a ticket for such a
behavior, which I think could become even the default behavior for
qooxdoo app development (i.e. the "source" generation). Thomas is sick
and not at work, but I'll talk with him about this feature soon.

It should all be in the generator docs, see

Do not bother to mess with the loader script! It's going to change,
since the loading of a qooxdoo app is to be improved to the level of 0.7
(i.e. a single JS file, not two) and beyond (e.g. providing useful
"domready" event, etc.).
