[TYPO3-ect] general approach for JS

[ries van Twisk]

Hey Steffen,

my rvt_dojo extension does include additional dojo header
on-request when the page get's generated. However the main
dojo library is still needed (which is rather large).

Often in my extensions and pages I found it necessary to include
a JS library everywhere simple because I needed
to have some $ function or something similar.

I do think it's easy to post-process a page and put teh JS files
after the page, and the end like you mention it. But I know at least
that some of my pages will break since I don't always use on-load...
