Yeah, I basically use JS_AddObjectRoot to root jwin when it's created in
createJavaContext.

This fixes the jwin rooting issue for the moment but as we've now got a c++
html parser (html.cpp) we can and should go for the opaque js struct.

In addition:
JS::RootedObject *jwin = new JS::RootedObjet

Is (I think) according to the gc rooting guide a really bad idea since it keeps
a rooted object on the heap which is illegal (it's only valid for the stack).

Cheers,
Adam.
