OSSP js is a stand-alone distribution of the JavaScript (JS)
programming language reference implementation from Mozilla -- aka
"JSRef" or "SpiderMonkey". This distribution provides a smart,
stand-alone and portable distribution of Mozilla JavaScript through a
build environment based on GNU autoconf, GNU libtool and GNU shtool,
including support for easy JavaScript build-time feature set selection
(ECMA-3, JS-1.5, JS-1.6), optional CLI line editing support, optional
"stdio" based File object support and JS/Perl bindings. Additionally,
the C API in "libjs" contains both the JavaScript engine and the
required Sun math library ("fdlibm") and with all internal symbols
carefully protected under the "js" namespace. Finally, a js-config(1)
utility and a pkg-config(1) specification is provided to allow
applications to easily build with the JavaScript C API.
