i was wondering how to tell tapestry not to load any of the scriptlous or 
prototype libraries. Our company uses our own js libraries, and these 
script.aculo.us files increase download times drastically. I think forcing all 
tapestry applications with forms to use these files is ridicoulous. I mean it 
would be one thing if they were 10 or 20k but at the moment tapestry forces 
uses to download an extra 220 K of resources just to handle a page with forms. 

atleast use http://dean.edwards.name/packer/ to pack all fo the files the 146KB 
prototype library will be compressed to 46KB.

our company chose tapestry to work with because it was the easiest to use of 
the non obtrusive web application frameworks. i dont want to see T5 get bloated 
with a bunch of features that are not necessary. If developers of the tapestry 
applications want to add the bells and whistles, then they should be able to 
add them manually.

all in all if we aren't able to create a config file which can turn this off 
and on, how would one go about manually overiding these features to turn them 
off. our website's landing page is.

thank you in advance

yours truly
evan
