The preferred way to do this is to add the library code itself to your function. I use a script designed to push filesystem contents to design documents. It has an ability to inline additional JavaScript into your functions. I'm in the middle of extracting it to its own project, so the install will be getting easier, but the Ruby code is available here: http://github.com/jchris/couchapp/tree/master -- Chris Anderson http://jchris.mfdz.com
