I feel your pain, but making every application depend on an
"overcomplex" C++ Javascript interpreter or (even worse) a dbus
connection is going to be very error prone.  Does this include every
time I run 'wget'?

So fine to have it, but make it optional for those that don't need it,
which is almost everyone.
