Provide jquery.flot.js without inlined jquery.colorhelpers.js

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Currently jquery.flot.js includes an inline minified version of 
jquery.colorhelpers.js.
It would be easier for automated minification workflows to have a separate 
jquery.flot.js file without other libraries, especially minified versions.
The name could be jquery.flot.core.js

In addition a new convenience file could contain the uncompressed contents of 
jquery.colorhelpers.js and jquery.flot.js.
The name could be jquery.flot.base.js

Hi! Why do you need that? When I make a release, I just reminify it, works fine?

The current jquery.flot.js is a mix of jquery.colorhelpers.js (minified) and - 
let's name it - jquery.flot.core.js (unminified).

When I want to include the current jquery.flot.js in static (YUI Compressor, 
Closure Compiler, ...) or dynamic (mod_pagespeed, ...) minification workflows, 
this mix can lead to problems or even errors.

Therefore I would appreciate two separate files, at least in unminified 
versions.
Or as alternative one unmified mix file (and probably a minified version, too).

Sorry, I think I was maybe to vague.

The thing is it's going to be more work for me and potentially more cumbersome 
for other people, so unless you actually have experienced a problem, I'd rather 
not change it. And even if you get a problem, I'd actually rather do something 
to fix that than change the workflow.

As I mentioned, when I make a Flot release and minify the files with YUI 
Compressor, I just run the jquery.flot.js file through YUI Compressor (you can 
see that in the Makefile). It works fine.
