Frozen Toolkit

So the toolkit came out of the book, and the toolkit basically exists primarily for education purposes. It provides an object-oriented abstraction of the XMLHttpRequest object, as well as providing a method of easily implementing event-driven application development. Throughout the book, the toolkit has grown, and by the final appendix (currently in writing) it meets OpenAjax compliance.

The toolkit has minimal documentation at this point, and zero examples (outside of the book, of course), but I rather like it, as it allows the use of Ajax connections, with support for various HTTP response codes, event dispatching available for extension, and external JavaScript file loading. However, I do have a bit of a bias, since I wrote it. The API will probably change quite a bit before it settles into itself, but it has at least stabilized to the point that I'll post a link to the current source files, consolidated and compressed source, and JSDoc2-generated docs.
