I wonder if there isn't some other work around we could pursue?  Maybe
it would be worth restricting ourselves to one YUI.use per page unless
there is really, really, really no other way. :-)

I would imagine we will end up going with some kind of loader anyway
when we hit this 500k problem again.  At worst, that ends up being a
human splitting the files out and only loading certain files for
certain pages via hand coding script tags.  Seems a shame we can't
find some way to use YUI's solution to this.
