I've actually gone so far as to add such a facility to the yacc parser. 
  The problem is, does an included script have to be a syntactically 
valid standalone script (including all necessary "require"s)?  If so, 
then we have to change the existing parser to accept "require" anywhere 
in a script.  If not, then we have to change the parser to not require 
"require" before an optional facility is used.

[...]

IMO, the only reasonable way to associate global scripts is to assign 
one script to the "bb" user (or whichever userid is used to post to 
shared folders).  This has the downside of running the script for every 
shared folder, but the alternative is to have a whole bunch of 
mini-scripts floating around.  Perhaps we could add a mailbox annotation 
to those mailboxes that we want to run the script?
