I'm not even sure *what* to convert specifically for TYPO3 in e.g. 
prototype.js - it's simply a collection of smart convenience methods for 
doing DOM manipulation and AJAX calls in JS, nothing more, no PHP or 
whatever integration as that only gets in our way sooner or later...

Why not simply use that (integration is as hard as linking one JS file 
in all HTML headers)? If somebody wants something more fancy, we can 
still decide about writing that ourselves or use another toolkit (like 
scriptaculous for Drag'n'Drop) on top of prototype. With this approach, 
we'd get just as much magic as we need...
