Tweak the Trac user interface

Description

This plugin implements a Javascript deployment platform, which enables Trac administrators to easily tweak Trac pages by using Javascript.

Key features:

• Apply different javascripts to different pages by matching regular expression.
• Supports Trac web admin.

Alternative: the AddStaticResourcesPlugin accomplishes many of the same goals. Very simple deployment and trac.ini configuration, ie no webadmin screens. Doesn't require an environment upgrade.
