1) Chill out, coming in guns a blazin' doesn't make anybody here excited to help you. 2) Can't send files over xhr, doesn't matter what library you're using, do some research before implying the MooTools dev's are short-sighted lazy butts. 3) If it's easy to write, then write it, put it on the forge.
