Actually I found the answer :)

Add this to your web.config

<!-- Web UI Controls -->
	<configSections>
		<section name="MicrosoftWebControls"    type="System.Configuration.NameValueSectionHandler, 
		System,	Version=1.0.3300.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" />
	</configSections>

	<MicrosoftWebControls>
		<add key="CommonFiles" value="/myapp/webcontrols/" />
	</MicrosoftWebControls>

Where myapp is the root of your web. Create the webcontrols directory and copy all the contents of wwwroot/webctrl_client from your dev box.
