I think at any point in the screencast having to download an extra
file (whether it is through curl or whatever) is a clunky way of
starting out.  Just my two cents.

After spending some time thinking about this, what do you guys think
of a Task-Catalyst-AJAX package, that comes with various useless
things like spinners and things along those lines?

I'm not sure what else should go in there... or we could modify the
default catalyst.pl creation to have a spinner.gif?
