[Vtigercrm-developers] Let's make 7.4 fruitful

[nilay khatri]

What I feel is that we can really do better dependent library management

The autoloader could be included in the Vtiger's Loader file.

The challenge would be if a custom module needs a library which is not
included as default, so then how do we package the extension..
