As I said, I have no problem calling the function, but right now it's like
this :

Application.onStartup = function()
{
  Windows.MessageBox( 'hello world' );
}

main(); // some global function I provide that will call onStartup

I'd like to get rid of main...
I can't call onStartup before JS_ExecuteScript, but I can't call it after
JS_ExecuteScript either..
