Re: C types build

js-ctypes is a mozilla-custom, poorly-supported extension to vanilla js
that supports loading and working directly with C/C++ dynamically linked
libraries / shared objects. There is documentation at [1]. I believe our
implementation was heavily influenced if not directly based on the existing
module in python [2].

Passing --enable-ctypes to the build system will cause this module to be
built. When built, the functions in [1] are available only from JS: I do
not believe it adds any public symbols to SpiderMonkey's C or C++ API
surfaces.
