[Developers] paths for referencing javascript files from client side in acre

Awesome.

I was thinking that, in theory, we could add a parameter that could turn 
off 'execution' of scripts by acre and just return the source code 
behind it, but I'm not sure how much more useful than just making a copy 
this is.

If you hover the file name on the sidebar on the left with your mouse, a 
'x' shows up next to it. Clicking that 'x' deletes the file.

But it is a good point that it might be hard to discover... maybe we 
should also add a 'delete' action in the file menu too.

Thoughts?
