Very cool. That works perfectly. Thanks Brendan.

What's your opinion of the 2nd part, where instead of explicitly asking
the user to call addLibrary(...), I trap an error call and attempt to
do the lookup myself?

I was digging around and also noticed JS_SetDebugErrorHook() in the
debug API files. From the .c's it looks like this is called before a
real error is thrown.

Are there advantages either way for attempting to do this dynamic
lookup/creation using the DebugErrorHook or the regular ErrorReporter
callbacks?

ie in "no addLibrary()" land:

external1.something()

-- errors out in native code,
attempt to lookup external1.js in current folder
if successful, proceded to evaluateScript and defineProperty on it.
stop the script execution, and restart it.

Smells a little hacky =).
