Ah, yes. I don't like the loader but that's mostly because you can't use 
it for your own extensions as far as I could figure out. It centralizes 
what depends on what instead of putting it into the individual .js 
files. I don't like manually loading dependencies either of course. :)

I can't use the files hosted off the YUI site in my deployment, as web 
applications can run locally.

I was just thinking about making the minimal thing work; have the 
ability to publish the stuff locally as a resource library directory or 
something...
