Ok, will do.

I'm going to have alook at this, since at the last time of checking,
the js 31 package (from experimental)
contained a broken symlink in place of jsapi.h.
Also, do you know of any docs for mozjs 31,
as all docs on the mozilla website talk about mozjs 24.

The timings sound fine to me provided the new edbrowse package runs correctly.
Incidentally, I'd be interested to see how you built this as the last time I
tried against a Debian packaged mozjs  it segfaulted as soon as you attempted to run it.

Cheers,
Adam.
