// TODOC: HOW TO DOC THE BELOW?
// @global: djConfig
// summary:
//		Application code can set the global 'djConfig' prior to loading
//		the library to override certain global settings for how dojo works.
// description:  The variables that can be set are as follows:
//			- isDebug: false
//			- allowQueryConfig: false
//			- baseScriptUri: ""
//			- baseRelativePath: ""
//			- libraryScriptUri: ""
//			- iePreventClobber: false
//			- ieClobberMinimal: true
//			- locale: undefined
//			- extraLocale: undefined
//			- preventBackButtonFix: true
//			- searchIds: []
//			- parseWidgets: true
// TODOC: HOW TO DOC THESE VARIABLES?
// TODOC: IS THIS A COMPLETE LIST?
// note:
//		'djConfig' does not exist under 'dojo.*' so that it can be set before the
//		'dojo' variable exists.
// note:
//		Setting any of these variables *after* the library has loaded does nothing at all.
// TODOC: is this still true?  Release notes for 0.3 indicated they could be set after load.
//


//TODOC:  HOW TO DOC THIS?
// @global: dj_global
// summary:
//		an alias for the top-level global object in the host environment
//		(e.g., the window object in a browser).

//		Refer to 'dj_global' rather than referring to window to ensure your
//		code runs correctly in contexts other than web browsers (eg: Rhino on a server).

//    global context, 'dj_currentContext' can be modified for temporary context shifting.
