Basically, my (C) application starts. At some point, everything is loaded,
and I can execute the script (JS_ExecuteScript). If that happens, the script
does its stuff, then exits. What I'd like is that the script remains in
memory, and that I can just call events. For example, assuming such
functions would exist :

void startscript( void )
{
  handle = JS_ExecuteScriptAsync( context, somescript );
  JS_CallFunction( context, global, "onStart", .. );
}

void js_exit( void ) /* some function that can be called from the script
{
  JS_StopScript( handle );
}

Hope this explains a bit better. Basically, I'm wonder how a web browser can
call onLoad once the script is running.. (since the execution is blocked at
the JS_ExecuteScript call)
