Don't worry about this. We already do exactly this when serving the
.asmx documentation page (DefaultWsdlHelpGenerator.aspx).

Okay. I will follow the same rules that are used for wsdlHelpGenerator
to locate the files. And, okay, in machine.config, the default path will
be web_scripts.

It would be nice if you test something like this with IIS:

	/YourApp/some.js
	/YoutApp/somedir/some.js

Ie., try getting one of those .js files in the MS aspnet_client path.
Then do the same for other script that exists but it's not in
aspnet_client path. Then tell me the results and I'll implement this in
System.Web.

We won't have different versions of those scripts installed. We will
only have one and will be mapped based on the results of those tests. IF
you can't do the tests, please, tell me asap and I'll do it.

Thanks.
