As far as I know we can't with smjs, which scares me a little given all
the AJAX machinary we're looking at.
However, if we can make our native http fetching machinary work correctly we
*may* be ok.  I think I'd rather the get and post bits were native so we can
make them read-only (I think) and make sure they can't be switched by outside
code.

I'm also able to help if any is required.  Out of interest, and on a slightly
unrelated note, anyone know whos maintaining the netBSD package in pkgsrc?
