1) Get your own copy of OL and use that, instead of using the hosted 
copy. Change your app to use it.

2) Go into the source and hack away.

3) Go into the ol build/ directory and "python build.py" to merge all of 
the changes and build a compressed copy of OL. Believe me, running OL 
with hundreds of uncompressed files is not fun.

4) Copy the resulting build/OpenLayers.js into the OL directory, 
overwriting the old one.
