[support] refreshing jcarousel item list without page reload

[Christopher M. Jones]

Sorry. Re read this and realized that it ended up very views centric. 
But that may  not be what you want. Still, the same principles apply in 
other cases. Your module might provide a menu callback that generates a 
new list and returns it in json.
