title: Distributing a jQuery plugin - what files are necessary?
body: <p>I am using the popular jquery.validation plugin. I downloaded the zip file and see that it contains a number of files. </p>
  
  <pre><code>/demo/
  /lib/
  /localization/
  additional-methods.js
  changelog.txt
  jquery.validate.js
  jquery.validate.min.js
  jquery.validate.pack.js
  todo
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I would like to keep things light. Deleting demo folder, changelog.txt, jquery.validate.js and todo seem obvious. I will include the reference to min.js in my html file. What about pack.js? What is that? Do I really need the localization and lib folders? The lib folder contains jquery which seems like a waste because I already load jquery from google's CDN. </p>
  
  <p>Can anyone point me to a standard way for distributing jquery plugins in a light manner?</p>
