Nice work on the packager, Stuart.
It's something we've considered including in the past, but never
implemented -- except, of course, for jQuery UI.
One drawback of offering a public packager such as this one is that it
makes third-party troubleshooting and support quite a bit more
difficult. One of the nice things about helping others on this list,
for example, is that we all know what we're dealing with. We can offer
suggestions based on the assumption that everyone has all the core
functionality at his or her disposal. Imagine how hard it would be
with the 49 varieties of jQuery core available from this packager.
This level of fine-tuning is already available for more experienced
coders who want to pull down the svn copy and build their own jQuery
core from the individual files in the /src/ directory.

Alexandra, it doesn't necessarily mean that every developer uses all
the jQuery features. Some might only need the core feature while
some the AJAX features, this will give them the opportunity to
customize their framework.

maybe and then, maybe not, depending on the case : the kilobyte
footprint of jquery minified is light, compared to the footprint of
additional server requests for each additional file to load.
at the very least, a production website should have all its
javascript compiled into one single minified file. This is left to
the responsibility of the web developer to decide that according to
its own project, not to this gentleman's fine download application,
of course.

Very interesting, such a feature should be implemented on the main
jQuery website.

Just to let you all know even though this is my first post it may seem
a tad spammy but it's not. It just happens I didn't have an account on
general discussion yet.
I've just kind of alpha released a super small jquery downloader.
Allowing you to choose exactly what parts of jQuery you need creating
a REALLY small download. http://demos.stuartloxton.com/downloader/
I'm still making changes to it, theres a larger description, and some
notes on stuff I'm going to change on my site over at:

All feedback is welcome!
