Library Agnosticism

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Has anyone had thoughts about completely removing any library dependency from 
flotr?

Any ballpark for how difficult this would be?

I've seen several APIs used - Class, Event, Array, and selectors.  What else?

Advantages would include:

* Smaller footprint for mobile platforms.
* Larger accessibility to other frameworks, communities (YUI, jQuery etc.)
* Single trunk (no more MooTools and Prototype).
* Might be more straight forward to add touch events.

What are disadvantages?

I already tried to do this, with a Flotr microframework with all the basic 
functions, and I also made Prototype and Mootools adapters, in order to take 
advantages of these libs. I even think I still have it in a local copy, but 
I'll have to work back on it to adapt it to the last commits.

Was the work completed or only partial?  Any particular problems you 
encountered?

Maybe a branch could be created for it.

It was partial, but I would need to review all that I did as all is messed up 
with SVN conflicts :(
