Kohana & UI

Sorry (shadowhand) about being a little off-topic, but I'm really into the
ui/widgets scope of my project now, and so I have all kind of thoughts and
good research about UI. I came across a really nice (and slick!) grid at
github, called SlickGrid. Flexigrid is old and discontinued, ExtJS
is humongous, and sometimes you just need a simple, fast, and responsive
grid to display backend data: http://github.com/mleibman/SlickGrid really looks
<http://wiki.github.com/mleibman/SlickGrid/examples>great.

Now, about Kohana,
how do you guys handle UI widgets you import into your project, like jQuery
UI, tree, multiselect, grid, do you just throw them into your /media/ folder
and initialize them within your views?

I found myself creating a "ui" module with a media file handler, and
importing all these extensions into the /vendor/ folder. But managing all
the js and css includes can get messy.
Just wanted to see if you guys can share how you do it..
