Using Archetype as a dependency manager only

After a whole day work, I've modularised Archetype bootstrap dependencies in order to load just what is needed to use Archetype as a "Script Loader" only.

It has been tested this evening on a big project using about hundred of interdependent files successfully without any modification of the framework itself! It's available in the SVN trunk right now :)

This project based upon OpenLayers, with a lot of enhancement using multiple overloading classes files). This project does not use Joiners, nor the Event system, not the Archetype.Class enhancement.

There are now some "expert settings" in the configuration, giving you the ability to load and use only what you need.

This is a great news as Archetype starts to be very very strong on the dependency management side and can be easily used now on any Prototype 1.5.x based application (or not, but it just relies on Prototype 1.5.x).

In a script loading only configuration, the framework takes about 34kb totally uncompressed (with a lot of comments for JsDoc).
Using a JSmin(a basic JavaScript compressor) pass, it shrinks down to 15kb, and if your using the HTTP1.1 GZip compression on your web server, it's no more than a 4.8kb that will be used to go on the client!

Awesome, isn't it ? ;)
