 Not necessarily, but it would have the following advantages:

 * the users would not have to manually get those three separate 
 libraries
 * the libraries would be stripped down to the necessary (e.g. OL can be 
 half the size of the regular full version), same for ExtJS and GeoExt
 * the libraries in our svn would be tested to work with each other. 
 When one of the three libraries changes to a new version we would check 
 them for compatibility and only replace them in our repository if they 
 work. It happened in the past, that a newer SVN trunk version of OL 
 would break some functionality.

 On the other hand it is the question whether we are allowed to keep 
 separate versions in our SVN? Would the licenses of OL, GeoExt and 
 Ext/Sencha allow that?
