[Grok-dev] Call for feedbacks : megrok.Resource

[Souheil CHELFOUH]

OK, I released a 0.4 version that is cleaned up (the dependencies and
code dirt).
It doesn't take the Martijn feedbacks in, yet. I need time to write a
better Readme.
I need to see, also, how to make the directive "resource" take the
modes, in a clean way.
And also, how to define the mode, in a simple grokish way. (maybe a
simple directive "mode")

>> Thank you Uli, for the feedback
>> I certainly missed the dependency and i'm going to fix that quickly.

>> As for the minified version, the option is not there yet !
>> Martijn was asking about it too, I shamely didn't include it.
>> Currently, it explicitly looks for depends and bottom.
>> I'm going to fix that and release a new version.
>>
>> As a record, for everyone here, I did code a small extension, if

>> It allows a merging and slimming of a ResourceLibrary component.

>> Cheers.
>> PS : i'll try to release the update in the coming hours
