Allow auto-discovery of build files

[James Burke]

Allow module directories to define their own build.js file (or some sort of build file in js) and have the build process discover them and run them.

This also means:

• Pull out the argument specification and building from build.js to a jslib.
• Need s jslib function for calling out to exec shell commands through java.

Use the dojox.flash stuff with mtasc as a test case.

[James Burke]

Pushing this off until we get more dojox stuff sorted out.

dmachi asked about this today, and was wondering if we could do something like pass in a profileDirectory=path1,path2 sort of thing, and any profile.js files under that directory would be integrated in the build.

One of the tricky things with this setup is the merging of layers: normally each profile.js file means a build of dojo.js. With this model, we only want one global dojo.js, and we should probably throw an error if another dojo.js is defined in a sub-profile.js file.

[James Burke]

Moving until there is a good use case that defines what we need for this.

given that we have completely replaced the build tool since the last time this ticket was modified, do we need to keep this ticket open?

if there's no response within 14 days it will automatically close

Bulk update to assign BuildSystem? tickets to Rawld. Many of these are probably already fixed in 1.7.

this it no longer applicable.
