OSSP js is a stand-alone distribution of the JavaScript (JS)
programming language reference implementation from Mozilla -- aka
"JSRef" or "SpiderMonkey". This distribution provides a smart,
- stand-alone and portable distribution of Mozilla JavaScript through
- a build environment based on GNU autoconf, GNU libtool and GNU
- shtool, including support for easy JavaScript build-time feature set
- selection (ECMA-3, JS-1.5, JS-1.6) and optional line editing and
- JS-to-Perl binding support during building the command line interface.
- Additionally, the C API in "libjs" contains both the JavaScript engine

OSSP js combines the best from two worlds: the 1:1 repackaged
JavaScript code base from Mozilla and the usual amount of GNU
autoconf, GNU libtool and GNU shtool wrappers as always used by OSSP.
+ Additionally, stand-alone ("stdio" instead of NSPR based) File object
