If you download a Mozilla build as a zip file it comes with an 
xpcshell.exe (on Win) which is a shell supporting core JavaScript plus 
XPConnect (to script XPCOM components).

And there is http://www.jsdb.org/ for example which I understand uses 
Spidermonkey and adds all sorts of useful objects (file, db etc).
