Err... no, quite the contrary. To have it usable in GeoServer demos
it has to be provided by GeoServer itself, otherwise we break the
"same origin" policy and GetFeatureInfo plus the WFS-T demos will
break. Btw, GeoServer embeds the OpenLayers javascript sources
so there is no need for an external connection afaik.
