I was actually suggesting putting the SSI in the JavaScript source
files.  Then it would be just like having a real JS 'include' directive,
except with a rather odd syntax.  The only problem I can see is you'd
have to update the modification time on the 'main' JS file whenver one
of the included ones was modified, to get cached versions updated.
