Oh great. Well, not so. I could not have dd working (never heard of it,
btw), and interruptHook expects a jsdIExecutionHook object, etc... but
could reach something decent anyway; Well, I still have to format the
frame, and have screens filled with [xpconnect wrapped jsdIStackFrame]
stuff, but I feel quite near to my goal

That won't keep me asking my next question : is it possible to access this
console.jsds.interruptHook functionnality when running the script from
xpcshell ? Looking for a text mode Venkman ? Me ?? :-)
