Re: JS engine(s) provided by gnustep

SimpleWebKit had all WebView interfaces to call JS and itself contains =
some incomplete JS (ECMA-Script) interpreter.

There wasn't much activity (besides Riccardo) from the community to work =
on this framework and make it more useful and for example provide the =
JSVirtualMachine class.

Key question is if you want DOM integration (i.e. JS within a browser) =
or a stand-alone JSVirtualMachine class.
