Great!  I've been searching through the .h's, but I think I'm not
finding the appropriate functions to do this (pseudo code):

JSResult handlerForAddLibrary(...)
{
JSObject* newExternal1Object;
JSObject* pObj = compileFile("external1.js");
JS_DefineObject("external1", &newExternal1Object, .....);

for all functions defined in pObj {
JSFunction* pFunction = getFunction(pObj, i);
JS_DefineFunction(newExternal1Object, pFunction);
}
}

I can do the defining of 'external1' as a new object in the global
object, but I'm wondering how to get the compiled functions from
external1.js into that new ly created object ?

(I'm hoping I wouldn't have to parse external1.js, dynamically create a
JSNative hook that would JS_CallFunction(...) into that file ? ).

Thanks in advance!
