Hi folks,

I wrote not too long ago to get some help compiling SpiderMonkey on Mac 
OS X. The advice was great and it is now up and running. My main purpose 
for using SM was actually to parse proxy automatic configuration (PAC) 
files in my application. I've since discovered that SM doesn't support 
the PAC extension functions out of the box! These include isInNet(), 
isPlainHostName(), shExpMatch() and so forth.

After some googling, it seems others have discovered this also but could 
not find a solution (at least didn't document it). This file 
<http://www.jabberstudio.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/jarl/install.diff?r1=1.9
&r2=1.10> actually has source for the functions, but they are in Perl
instead of JavaScript.

This person appears to have implemented the functions himself, I think.

243bt1%40ripley.netscape.com&rnum=3>

I'm hoping not to re-invent the wheel and so was wondering if anyone 
knew how I might easily include these functions in my code.

Cheers,
Heath
