The answer to this would be easy if we used the systems already in 
place.  What if we have a js/ directory for our jQuery modules 
(plugins) and it becomes one of the directories that the module system 
searches for .info files.  Then your module would simply depend on the 
js module.  I know Larry didn't want to have to add to the package but 
the controls already exist for .info files.

If we go this route the jquery or jquery_plugin module would have to 
provide a dependency check for the module system.

That is the reason I entered this thread to begin with.
