Jon Davis’s CacheFile, is a centeral place to store common libraries such as Dojo, jQuery, Ext, Prototype and more. Dojo has a nice CDN already thanks to AOL, and YUI thanks to Yahoo! The other libraries don’t have the same, so this could be the solution:
CacheFile.net is an HTTP web server that contains common Internet resources that are frequently reused on other web sites. It exists to alleviate the need for a common root URL for web resources that are otherwise not directly linkable at their primary URLs.
For example, popular Javascript libraries may have a direct download link for a specific version of their script files, but may discourage the direct linking of these files on their site. People are instead encouraged to download the scripts and manage them on their own servers. But the problem with each web site retaining its own copy of the same resources is that web users must re-download them all over again as they navigate from site to site. Over browsing five different jQuery-driven web sites using the same version of jQuery, there may be five different copies of the script being seperately downloaded. [CacheFile.net]

You can take a peak at the listing of scripts and you can even grab a versioned file while setting the expires tag that you want:
The only caveat is, they could turn it off at any time, as mentioned on the home page:
CacheFile.net is free to use for any site, with no limitations. However, if we find that some web sites are extremely popular and are making very heavy use of our resources, we will attempt to contact the site owners and directly request donations. If no donation is obtained, we will be forced to apply a referer access cap.
