That clearly doesn't work :-(  Fetching the URL of pengines.js is
possible, but not so easily that it is a great idea.  I've added
a partial work-around by adding `server: string` to the Pengine
configuration object.  The pengine interaction is found at

	server + pengine/create (etc)

If server is not given, it is "/".  At least that allows hacking
around this without modifying pengines.js.  In addition, it allows
copying pengines.js to any web server and using it for cross-site
scripting, or chatting to different pengine servers from the same
JavaScript script.

Hope this helps to keep moving forwards ...
