Calling it file.php is probably a bad idea, because some browsers may want
it to be served as text/javascript or whatever, which could cause issues.

Changing the server config is probably also a bad idea, because I would
assume most .js files won't need PHP parsing - so parsing them would be
inefficient.

I'd go with an htaccess mod.  I'm not familiar with the syntax, but Google
should be able to help.
