Yeah, and as Karl said, it also means we can remove the jMyContext function,
which is useful I think.

I'm also thinking of removing a couple of wrapper functions,
like the ones which previously attempted to handle utf8 stuff with js as the
new api gives no easy way of working out what mode the js engine is running in
anyway, so we kind of need to hope everything's ok.
Basically I think the rule with new SpiderMonkey is assume that the engine
takes 1 byte per character strings unless using the jschar unicode functions
(which is going to require much rewriting).

Cheers,
Adam.
