Mozilla distributions come with libmozjs.so.  Linux binary compatibility 
in light of GCC versionitis and ABI shifts, combined with bad 
distributor choices, is a nightmare.  What can I say?

Linux needs to fix that, do a proper HAL so device plug-n-play works as 
well as on Windows, and fix a few other big ticket items before it can 
take over the desktop.
