[Users] ExtJS 3.0.0 build for GeoExt

[Alexandre Dube]

Tim,

You're right.

For the record : I abandoned the idea because of the reasons you 
mentioned. My main goal was to have a smaller ext-all.js file (KB) and I 
got much more than that by using mod_deflate running on apache :

Without : 1.0MB
With : 137KB

And all the other files are smaller as well. So, because of the 
complexity of the task and the significant gain I got by using 
mod_deflate, I just forgot about a specific build of ExtJS.

Thanks,

Alexandre
