That seems to work with 1.5, bar a crash in js_Execute() which I can
ignore past (and don't have time to investigate atm).
Also remember to update desktop/netsurf.c
What needs updating in desktop/netsurf.c??

Also required, and I forgot to mention, is the inline function
JS_NewCompartmentAndGlobalObject in jsapi.h, needs to be declared
"static".

This is caused by Spidermonkey expecting a result variable rather than
NULL. I've fixed it in Spidermonkey :)

what does it mean ?. With only this small patch its possible to use spidermonky and
netsurf can work
at usefull speed on pages that use java script buttons, menus ?. sure 1.7 is from firefox
2.0, but
i guess in java script are not important enhance done, that is need in 98% of web pages.
I think firefox 2 can still show most of webpages today.
If it is so easy, wy it is not implement earlier, before the rewrite in the buildsystem ?.
maybe
netsurf can build a libjscript out of this sources automatic.
I guess a working netsurf with java script attract more developers to help on netsurf,
because then
it is a full browser that can show most of the pages. currently i guess netsurf can only
show 10%
of web pages correct. and even a old java script can boost that maybe to 80%.
If java on netsurf can work this way, i am motivate to try to get the MUI support working
with
newest netsurf backend API
But i hope that in Future not many changes in Backend API are need, i have not so much
time to do
porting again and again for changed API.

Almost yes, this patch is working for spidermonkey 1.7 and probably 1.8
( I'm not sure what the other developers think about it? There was no
comment at all :/)

You got this wrong, spidermonkey is just the JavaScript engine, it has
nothing to
do with the DOM binding. That has still to be done. But I think binding
JavaScript to the DOM should be almost the same for 1.7 / 1.8.
But there is also one important type missing within 1.7: c-types.
I guess it will be used by developers quite often, because
HTML5 brings also the ability to create files with javscript and offer
them for download.
On the other side, it's probably not so much work to get c-types API
running with spidermonkey 1.7.
