        The Dojo distribution itself may be found in the
        <code>externals/dojo/</code> directory of the Zend Framework
        distribution. This is a source distribution, which includes Dojo's full
        javascript source, unit tests, and build tools. You can symlink this
        into your javascript directory, copy it, or use the build tool to create
        your own custom build to include in your project. Alternatively, you can
        use one of the Content Delivery Networks that offer Dojo (ZF supports
        both the official AOL CDN as well as the Google CDN).
