[Laszlo-dev] How can we eliminate the 'conditional class definitions' from the AV components?

[Max Carlson]

I think those are there so DHTML apps wouldn't autoinclude a bunch of 
code that fails when someone accidentally includes one of those 
components.  Instead of some mysterious runtime error, the class won't 
be included - making for a much more straightforward debugging experience.

It seems like what we really want is to be able to signal a compiler 
error when trying to include one of these components in DHTML...

Failing that, we could eliminate the condition in the components and ask 
developers to put conditions in their own apps when they want 
cross-runtime support.  We will likely need to add if ($dhtml) { warn } 
else { ... } clauses to most methods.
