I'd wonder how good the web server is and how it handles other file types.

But  I'd have thought it easier to maintain the scripts as scripts, the
downside being compilation is left much later. In that you still have to
make all those configuration decisions, you just then add an extra step
of freezing them into yet another file. i.e. You may have increased the
number of configurable items, even if you only ship the final one.

Still let us know how you get on.
