They are only being used when I'm using staticpages. If I vote on a 
poll or read the forum, the staticpages and story webservices 
functions are bloat. The beauty of my idea is when PLG_invokeService 
is called for them, if the functions needed are in 
plugins/staticpages/webservices.inc then even the staticpages plugin 
will only include those functions if it absolutely needs to. If it 
doesn't, the functions sit on the filesystem unparsed and unloaded.

What is the sense of always forcing those functions to be included 
when they are only used when you are viewing staticpages or story 
content? Geeklog files tend to be long and bloated. Separating them 
into smaller files makes them easier to work with.
