I should perhaps have described this in more detail - the usercontrol
dll is appearing in the assembly download cache, but is not being used
by the browser in a new session. For example, if you close all
instances of Internet Explorer, and check gacutil, the assembly is
still there in the cache - but if you then re-open Internet Explorer,
it retrieves and compiles a new copy.
I'm guessing that it's either something internal to the assembly that
needs to be configured (beyong strong naming and versioning), or it's a
fault in the .NET framework.
