When I precompile my sites with MS.NET 3.5, all *.as?x
files are kept in place with their content replaced with:

"This is a marker file generated by the precompilation tool,
and should not be deleted!"

So they are actually physically existent, additionally to
their precompiled form in the "bin" directory.

Please explain how and with which tool/.NET version you're
precompiling your site.
