[TYPO3-core] RFC: Load javascript libraries

[Benjamin Mack]

Hey,

ok. as discussed the basename allows us to exclude multiple instances of 
prototype for instance:

contrib/prototype/prototype.js
js/tree.js
typo3conf/ext/my_ext/prototype/prototype

would load prototype twice. But anyway, I think this is something an 
ext-dev should be aware of since this function "loadJSlibrary" is used 
for the internal core BE anyway and the prototype version of the core 
should be used, not any other.

greetings,
benni.
