[Seaside] Seaside Metacello and optional dependencies

[Sven Van Caekenberghe]

Hi Aaron,

You can load specific groups. Instead of

spec 
  baseline: 'Seaside3'	
  with: [ spec repository: 'github://SeasideSt/Seaside:master/repository' ]

you write

spec 
  baseline: 'Seaside3'	
  with: [ spec repository: 'github://SeasideSt/Seaside:master/repository'; loads: #('Prototype-Core' 'Scriptaculous-Core') ]

assuming these are actual groups of BaselineOfSeaside3 (see its class comment).

HTH,

Sven

I sort of know that jQuery is the new hotness but consider this academic, I want to know how to include Prototype / Scriptaculous. Right now I can manually load them from Iceberg but I’d prefer this to be automatic and easy for a newcomer.
