Good question.  I want to deploy as an embedded server without the need to 
install apache, etc for small workgroups and so the I need to allow the server 
to server up a few key files which could be from the file system or embedded in 
the executable file for instance.

For the most part the static files that I'd like to server up are the index.html 
page (entry point) and it's dependent script and or css files.  All of the other 
html content will be served up through the templating system and injected into 
the initial index.html page through ajax or constructed client-side as a result 
of JSON data received from the server as well.  I figured instead of writing 
separate web modules/actions for each...
