requireScript plugin for jQuery

Description

Unlike internal $.getScript:

• memorize already loaded scripts
• allow to load multiple scripts at once
• allow to choose parallel or sequential loading for multiple scripts
• use browser cache
• allow to specify context for callback

Using

$.requireScript(url, callback, [context], [options]);

• url - the url of script (or array url of scripts)
• callback - function to be executed whenever the script is loaded successfully
• context - context of callback function
• options - a set of key/value pairs that configure loading (now supported only param parallel (true/false) - using parallel loading for multiple scripts, default: true)

Example

$.requireScript('/js/my-script.js', function() { alert('my-script ready for using'); });

or

``` var obj = { createPolygon : function() { $.requireScript(['/js/Shape.js', '/js/Polygon.js'], this._doCreatePolygon, this, { parallel : false }); }, _doCreatePolygon : function() { new Polygon(); } };

obj.createPolygon(); ```
