Has a constructor in what sense?  Do you mean that there is a JSNative 
constructor that you want to get called that creates the object?  Or 
that you create the object but then call the JSNative on it?  Something 
else?

This comes back to my question above.  If the constructor JSNative 
creates the object, then just calling it via JS_New will do the right 
thing; it'll do the JS_NewObject itself.
