Actually that's not an issue - the package builds will (in most cases
now) remove the test directories, and will only include files that are
in GIT anyway. Please move everything under web/regression as right
now it's cluttering up the root directory which doesn't make sense as
it only applies to the web/ code.

OK.

I would have applied that, except that it relied on the tests :-(

Thanks, I've applied that.

OK.

If you can update the location of the files per my comment above, I
can get it committed. Note that the update to libraries.txt is no
longer needed, as we will neither include the additional JS modules in
the GIT repo or packages.
