Ok, I've gone back and reread parts of this thread.  Let's put the 
argument against automating the jQuery plugin scripts behind us because 
it has been expressed and everyone understands that it is a bad idea.

Now let us discuss: the administrator is given the option in the 
jquery_plugin module to upload his jQuery plugin.  The jquery_plugin 
module writes the uploaded file to files/jquery/ directory.  The 
jquery_plugin module then serves the client visiting the site those 
files.
