hi
I'm in trouble for understanding the difference between those 2 parameters
of the js_init_class function
obj JSObject * Pointer to the object to use for initializing the class.
parent_proto JSObject * Pointer to a prototype object for the class.

As far as i know, the js_init_class function returns a prototype that i will
use later to create objects.
This prototype inherits the methods/attributes of the parent_proto.
But what is the obj parameter for?
The documentation at
http://www.mozilla.org/js/spidermonkey/apidoc/gen/complete.html#JS_InitClass
doesnt say much on that topic

thx for helping !
