It can be done with server side technology, but a client side solution seems
to me better. It only waste server time to produce specific JavaScript file.

If the files are split, we can also keep in an OO way. For example, we can
use Factory pattern: the DynLayer with all code same for all browsers and
versions; DynLayerNN and DynLayerIE inherit DynLayer and with general code
for all version; and DynLayerNN_4, ... with NN4 specific code. A
DynLayerFactory object detects browser and version, return the corresponding
sub-class object of DynLayer and it is transparent to the user of DynLayer.

Although there are a lot interesting or important things to do, splitting
code into browser and version specific seems to be the hotest theme. :)
