If it were up to me, I'd leave them in the same directory to
avoid potential absolute/relative path problems. And keep the JS
Component Loader from trying to load them by giving them a
filename extension other than '.js'. Maybe '.jsl' for 'library'
or '.jsi' for 'include' or whatever.
If we want to go to more trouble, we could 'fix' the JS Component
Loader to not load '.js' files and only load '.jsc' (for
'component') files instead. Then you could leave your included
files using '.js'. No telling what this change would break,
though.
