allow for the ability to load jQuery at the end of the page

[tisdall]

c7fe267 changed things so an explicit call to jQuery is made in deform.js. This also makes it so jQuery must now be loaded prior to deform.js. Also, because the widget templates make calls to methods in deform.js, both of those libraries must be added in the HEAD of a document.

It's fairly common practice to load your js scripts at the end of page to get something loaded on the page while a person waits for the js to load. Now there's no (easy) way of doing this because of the explicit call to jQuery in deform.js.

Could we make some sort of switch to allow loading jQuery at the end of the document?

Maybe something like this:

if (typeof dont_assume_jquery_is_loaded === 'undefined') {
   $(document).ready(function(){
      deform.load();
   });
}

Then it'll continue doing the automatic thing unless somewhere before loading deform.js you do a dont_assume_jquery_is_loaded = true;.

Any comments on this? Am I the only one who doesn't want to load jQuery until the end of the page?

I'm going to close this as #229 is the best way to deal with this.
